Sample of a Preschool Schedule

Consistent routines can be helpful to your child's overall well-being. As an optional resource for you, we put together a sample schedule that includes academic, outdoor and even technology time throughout the day. Please modify as appropriate for your family- this is simply a suggestion. We will continue to provide resources and optional activities for you to explore with yyor child on the weekly Learning Plans. We hope that this is helpful to your family and you enjoy this time together with your family.
