Questions
What's a good schedule for toddlers?
Short blocks (15 to 45 minutes), meals and snacks about every two to three hours, outside play morning and afternoon, and one long nap after lunch. The toddler starter here follows that rhythm.
Do infants follow a schedule?
Babies eat and sleep when they need to, so an infant room's schedule is a rhythm of care and play, not a timetable. Each baby's own times go in the daily log.
