We realize it can be a challenging time right now with the unpredictability of day to day life. As humans, we perform best with a routine. The staff at Creative Development, LLC created a sample schedule for you to modify and adapt to fit the needs of you and your child at home.
Remember, that during this time a routine is helpful. However, each day does not need to consist of the same activities. Be sure to maintain a consistent wake-up time, bed time, and meal times. The other activities can be moved around with more flexibility!
