The caregivers are on the child's schedule. The child eats and sleeps when it is right for them. Diapers are changed at least every two hours, sooner if needed. As your child grows we will transition him/her into our toddler schedule.
The daily schedule for this age group provides for a morning snack around 9:00-9:30 and an afternoon snack around 2:00 to 2:30. Lunch is served around 11:00, with nap time following. The day is filled with playing, (both alone and interactive), stories, music, art, and sensory activities. There is no fixed daily schedule for this age group as we tend to gage the temperment of the children to decide which activities to do for the day.
The schedule in the room is more of a guide. We feel children of this age are still too young to be forced to follow a rigid schedule. Diapers are changed at least every two hours and snacks, lunch and nap are the same time everyday. As your child approaches the age of three, toilet training is also part of the daily schedule.
