DAILY
ROUTINE
For most of us, our lives involve a series of patterns — routines we
perform almost every day, like stopping at the same place each day for
coffee on the way to work. This is also very true for children. While we
play a part in creating routines in our children’s lives, we may not fully
realize the role they play in young children’s development.
Consistent routines provide comfort and a sense of safety to young
children. Following a schedule each day makes children feel safer and
happier, which often leads to better behaviour and cooperation. When they
know what to expect, and what’s expected of them, kids feel more
comfortable and confident about what lies ahead.
Why A Daily
Routine for Kids Is
Important?
1) Helps your child get on a schedule
Consistent routine will help your child and their “body clocks” with many day-to-day basics
such as:
•Ability to take naps and sleep well at night
•Healthy play and outdoor time
•Calm, relaxed behavior at “down times” during the day
For example, because your child and their body know it’s time to sleep, they are more easily
able to wind down and rest.
2) Creates a calmer household
Because the child, and other family members, know what to expect, stress and anxiety
are reduced. The child will know what comes next. They will feel valued because they
are included in the plans and don’t feel as if they’re being forced to do something.
3) Gives your child confidence and independence
With a routine, a child will learn over time when it’s time to brush their teeth or put on
their pajamas. They will take pride in knowing what they are supposed to do – and doing
it by themselves.
4) Offers your child an opportunity to get excited about what’s ahead
If your child knows what’s on the schedule, they anticipate and look forward to
future events – such as going to the park on Friday afternoons or spending time
with Dad on Sunday mornings. When these activities are established, your child
feels like a loved part of the family and the world.
5) Provides opportunity for special “daily rituals”
When you build something into your day, like snuggling and reading to your child
before bed, you instill special moments or “daily rituals.”
These dedicated times create increased bonding and connection with your child
every day. Rather than just moving from one activity to the next, you have quality,
relaxing time built into each day.
How to Set a Daily Routine for Your Child
1. Establish the important times such as meal times, snack times, naptimes
and bedtime
2. Practice patience
3. Add “helpful” elements to each part of the routine
4. Work toward consistency and make room for flexibility
5. Establish special times with your child
6. Adjust as needed

Arrival & Departure
Arrival and departure time provides children and parents with the opportunity to have a relaxed start
and finish to their school day. The morning session starts at 8.30am and we please ask parents not to
arrive before 8:30am. Our morning session finishes at 12pm and our afternoon session finishes at 3pm.
Children must always be brought into their room by a parent or caregiver. Encourage parents to have a
quick chat with a teacher to discuss your child’s day.
Parents must contact if you’re going to be late picking up your child. If you are late we ask you to sign
a late form and after three times we will send out a late letter asking you to pay an extra 10% to the
monthly fee.
When registering your child we ask parents to provide details on authorized persons to collect your
child at pick up times. We will only allow authorized people to collect your child as stated in our health
and safety policy. We will ask the person who has come to collect your child/children for ID.

Preventing Separation Anxiety
Say goodbye. The simplest of the steps, it’s also the hardest to do.
Trust the child’s teacher.
Establish a good bye routine. Whatever it is, make it something special between the two of you and
make sure you do it every single time.
Never let them to see you sweat. Smile, talk about how much fun she/he going to have.
Don’t be late for pick up. If you are late, it can cause your child even more anxiety and make
dropping her/his off next time that much harder.
Give your child something to look forward. Scheduling play dates with some of child’s classmates.
If child arrives at school and sees someone they recognize, they may be more likely to settle down
and relax.
Be honest. Talk about what they are feeling and why. Share a story about a time that you may have
felt scared or nervous about something and how you dealt with it.
