Key Considerations

*Flexibility:

Daycare schedules should be flexible enough to accommodate individual needs and interests.

*Gross Motor Skills:

Outdoor play and movement activities are vital for developing coordination and physical skills.

*Social Interaction:

Group activities and free play provide opportunities for toddlers to interact with their peers.

*Learning Opportunities:

Structured activities can be incorporated to foster language, cognitive, and social-emotional development.
 

*Routines: Consistent routines help toddlers feel secure and comfortable in the daycare environment.

  Arrival and Breakfast: A welcoming time for toddlers to settle in and eat a nutritious meal.

  Group Time: Opportunities for social interaction, songs, stories, and talking about the day.

  Activity Centers: Free play and exploration in designated areas with age-appropriate toys and materials.

  Outdoor Play: Ample time for physical activity, gross motor skill development, and engagement with the environment.
