I have what I call a flexible schedule. I like knowing what's coming next, but the times vary a bit. Generally, this is my 'schedule' (all preschool-aged kiddos):
8:30-9:00 arrival
9:00-9:15 morning meeting
9:15-10:30 free play (snack is offered as a choice during this time)
10:30-11:00 small group
11:00-11:45 outside
11:45-12:15 circle time (music/stories)
12:15-12:45 lunch
12:45-1:00 get ready for nap/potty/wash hands/get cots out
1:00-3:00 naps
3:00-5:15 free play or outside/snack as a choice
Because I run a preschool I do have a curriculum that I do with the kids. The goal of my curriculum is to provide hands on activities that meet the kiddos where they are developmentally and prepare them for kindergarten. The learning we do is through open ended activities and play. We don't do worksheets or anything.
I come up with my own activities based on the kiddos interests-with the help of pinterest and inspiration from many awesome teachers that I've worked with in the past.
I've been doing it this way for 5 years and now it's pretty fast and easy to figure out what activities I want to do based on what the kids are interested in.
