DAILY SCHEDULE INFANTS (6 WEEKS TO 18 MONTHS)


Infants need a schedule that is regular enough to be predictable and flexible enough to meet their individual needs by respecting their unique biological rhythms. In general the younger the child the more flexible and individualized the schedule must be. But even babies gain a sense of security when the schedule is somewhat regular.

At Education Partners Early Learning Academy the Infants’ Daily Schedule consists of some basic routines and activities that occur throughout the day. Our Teachers take special care to insure that these routines and activities correspond to the individual schedule of each infant in our care.

Our days are structured to allow the infant time with others, time alone, active times, quiet times and one-on-one time with a special adult during the course of the day.
 

Schedules for young children need to be regular enough to be predictable for the children, but flexible enough to meet their individual needs and take advantage of learning opportunities. The above schedule is a guideline that will be adapted as needed to meet the needs of the group and individual children.
