This schedule is just an example of our day, and is followed as closely as possible. In the event that your child needs to be picked up or dropped off at rest time, please make arrangements beforehand so we do not disturb the other children. Also if you will not have your child here for a scheduled meal, please let me know so I can plan accordingly. 

Toddlers will not necessarily follow a set schedule. They are not capable of sitting still for circle time, may need a morning nap, etc. This is one reason our daily schedule is not "set in stone".

Children develop differently, and activities will be done at their own pace.

We will remain flexible throughout the day and adjust as the children’s needs change.

Meals and Snacks

I serve breakfast, lunch and two snacks during our day together.

Times served:

Breakfast: 8:00AM

Morning Snack: 9:45-10:00AM

Lunch: 12:00-12:30 PM

Afternoon snack: 3:00-3:20PM

Sweets may be included occasionally. 

If your child is not here at these times, meals or snacks will not be given at unscheduled times so please be sure that they have eaten.

I never force a child to finish what is on his plate, but I do encourage each child to try one or two bites of everything. Sometimes they are surprised by what they like!

If you wish to provide snacks at your child's birthday or another time, that's great! If you let me know a day ahead of time, it helps.

If your child has an allergy to a specific food, please let me know.

 

Please do not send snacks of candy with your child to day care unless prior approval has been given.
