It is important to take into account the individual needs of your children. Meal times, naps, outdoor time, circle are all important aspects to keep consistent so the children have some security and predictability. I personally also believe it is important for regular art activities to be integrated into this schedule. Depending on the group of children, perhaps it would be appropriate to structure other themed activities so you can best aid in their healthy development.

I would approach the situation with understanding and attempt to figure out why Mrs. Hopkins has been late. Is there additional support needed or would it be best to change schedules? I’d like to work with her to find a better solution. If she is in violation of our state or center expectations, we would have to discuss these expectations clearly to ensure understanding on her part.
