Our Daily Schedule

 

While a rigid schedule is not developmentally appropriate for young children, a daily routine has many benefits.  Working with children involves the need for flexibility and our schedule is altered as needed both to accomodate a field trip or special activity as well as to meet the individual needs of the children in attendance that day.

Snacks and Meals
 
Infants are fed on demand unless parents request and submit a feeding schedule.  As children progress to cereal and jarred foods, these are offered one item at a time and only after they have been eaten at home.  This helps both myself and parents monitor the child for reactions and allergies to foods.  For older children, we have a rotating menu system.  Even with a menu plan, we do occassionally substitute one or more items for additional variety, the opportunity to try seasonal items, and accomodate requests and special events.  All our snacks and meals meet USDA requirements monitored by the Child and Adult Care Food Program (I am enrolled through Provider's Choice).
