Importance of Routines
Preschool children crave structure and routine. Having a world that is predictable provides quite a bit of comfort to young children. While many things in daily life can be unpredictable, we can provide the needed structure children thrive on by creating family routines. Bedtime routines, morning routines and after school routines assist children in their development of responsibility, emotional regulation and also helps to instill confidence in abilities. If your family struggles with routine, try to start one predictable routine at a time, like reading a story before bed and then add on as the habit is formed.

If you need to add a day due to a family circumstance, please call the office. Added days are $25 per full day/ $15 per half day.
