Daily Schedules (subject to revisions)

The children’s daily schedule is flexible enough to provide adaptability when necessary but structured enough to provide predictability for the children. We want to view their school as a safe and comforting place, where they know what to expect and when to expect it. Below are typical days for each of our groups:
