* The daily schedule is based on the demands of the children and may be altered to fit the needs of the daycare and children. Scheduled meal and nap times are for children 12 months and older and will not change.
30 minutes and 1 hours is too long for meals. Children need blocks of child directed activites Is that your explorer time? or is that teacher directed?
