Due to the varying ages of the kids in this program, we are a flexible bunch. We go with the flow and aren't afraid to rearrange our schedule a bit if it means one of the members of our crew needs some extra TLC that day! I do believe that young children thrive on predictability and schedules, so I do my best to make kids feel comfortable in that way.

Here is an approximate idea of our schedule each day:
7:15 Welcome!
7:45 - 8:15 Breakfast
