Home Programs & Routines Routines 3-6 Routine
The preschool routine is designed to cater to the developmental needs of children aged three to six years old. By offering a consistent pattern of activities — including learning time, meals, rest, and outdoor play — the routine ensures that children feel secure in their environment. This predictability in the daily schedule positively impacts children’s emotional, cognitive, and social development, setting a strong foundation for their growth. The preschool routine is adaptable to accommodate individual needs, support emerging interests, and nurture the unique personalities and intelligence of each child. It is through this tailored approach that children are able to thrive and flourish in their learning environment.
