At the beginning, I’ll strive to keep the schedule simple, easy to follow, gradually adding details and activities.

depending on the age group, the schedule can be based off your ratio and your age group of kids, as far as infants they cannot go outside but its important to think about what they can do when its free time and something that can be enjoying for them

I would review the schedule for the day at the beginning of each day. refer to the schedule before and after activities throughout the day model steps and allow the children to practice doing them

I feel consistency is the key for creating and maintaining the daily schedule/routine inside the classroom. Starting with simple yet effective routine habits build a strong daily schedule for the children in the classroom as they will start to feel the classroom as their safe/active space for learning. Try to hang a daily schedule sample chart in the classroom (at children’s eye level) as it would help the teacher stepping in the classroom to understand and maintain the schedule for each day.

To create an effective daily schedule for children, it’s essential to ensure balance, provide support, and maintain adaptability. During their day they must have lunch times, snacks, and playtime. The children will easily adapt to the daily schedule if it includes activities they like.

When creating a daily schedule for children, it’s good to start filling the schedule with the most important parts of the day, such as meals, snack, and nap time. Circle time and centers are a must. Outside time for gross motor is also essential, weather permitting. I would include the same transitions between each schedule every day so that the children will come to know what to expect.

Some tips I have is putting yourself in the childrens shoes and deciding what things would excite them and their personalities! Also, accommodate their times like with eating to yours, like having lunch around 11 and snack later in the evening after nap where they might be a little more hungry.

[Kaitlin Hudspeth]

When creating a daily schedule, it’s convenient to begin with scheduled breakfast, lunch, and dinner times. as it ensures children receive their full nutrition and it makes naps and activities easier to schedule around meals. From here I like to pencil in the times that are work hours, recess, and sleep hours.

Be open to change! It’s totally normal to find that a different routine would be better. It’s okay to change things up as long as there is a general consistency the kids can count on.

[Sonny Helms]

If developing a schedule feels overwhelming, Its best to begin with meal and snack times and fill in the rest. Think about the children’s natural cycle (are they going to be tired after they play outside or eat). Think about what activities naturally transition into others.

[Cassandra Mares]

It is important to allow the children to have adequate play time mixed with their learning, just because of their attention spans. Having a recurring sound, or song for when it is time to transition from one thing to the next will help them get into a routine habit. Try to notice when they start getting veered off course from what you are having them do, and adjust the schedule as needed.

When creating a daily schedule and routine in an early learning environment, it’s important to post the daily schedule in a area that is accessible to student so they feel secure, comfortable and excited for the day. The schedule should incorporate active play, quiet time, and learning activities that consist of imagination and mental stimulation as well as physical activities. When transitioning from activity to activity I would involve the children and make it fun.

[Josie]

First I would start by scheduling the breakfast, lunch and snack times. Then I would schedule the nap time and then would fill in the rest of the day with activities, free play and outside time.

[Genesis Berg]

try to change up activities but also remember they need to have time to play and interact with the children

[Maria H]

mi punto de vista es que cuando establecemos horarios en las actividades se crea una rutina y los ninos se acostumbran a ello y ademas saben que es lo que viene despues de cada rutina, seria buena idea como sugerencia incorporar a los ninos escogiendo y decidiendo que tipo de actividades quieren hacer primero.
