Finally, the shcedule will benefit you. You won't need to spend time each day deciding what to do next. With a schedule in place, such decisions have already been made. Fewer questions arise between children and caregivers, making confusion less likely. What Children Need You should plan your day around the needs of children.
Children have physical needs for food, rest, and exercise.
They have emotional needs for love and a social need for friendship. They also have the intellectual need to learn about the world around them. This means that your typical day should include times for eating, resting, exercising, and playing as individuals and in groups. As the caregiver, it is your job to share all of these activities with children so they can learn to trust you and feel secure. In order to schedule and plan the days for your day care center, you need to have an understanding of child development and age-appropriate activities and learning materials.
