Routines in the Center: Why Are They Important?

Having a routine allows children to predict and anticipate the events of their day. This helps them learn and feel secure. A daily routine also gives children a sense of stability in their lives and boosts their confidence as they take steps toward becoming independent.  Regular routines may be particularly helpful for children that are going through changes as they feel stability and security in their lives.

• Please make every possible effort to bring your child by 9 am at the latest. 

• When a child gets to the school after 9, it is difficult for him/her to get in the rhythm of the day which causes major disruptions to the class.
