Children thrive when they know what to expect during the day. This predictability and consistency allows children to feel comfortable and confident in their environment. While consistency is critical, it is also important to have a schedule that is not overly ridged. Therefore, while we follow this schedule, there is room to account for changes to our day such as spontaneous learning, field trips, etc.
