Planning a daily preschool schedule is important and there is more to it than listing Circle Time, Activity Times, Snack Time, etc.
You need to consider many other areas such as transition times and balancing passive/active activities.
If you don’t consider them, you’ll spend your days (and year!) wondering why you are always running behind or why the children are not in the groove of school (aka behavior problems).
Let’s look at the 9 tips you need to know!
1. You need to have a plan!
Having a daily preschool schedule is important. The predictability of knowing what comes next helps preschoolers to feel secure which leads to them feeling comfortable to engage and participate in activities throughout the day.
Preschoolers tell time differently than we do. They “tell time” by knowing what comes next. We are asked daily “When do we have snack? When do we go outside? For some children, the preoccupation with the question "When is Mommy coming?" limits the child's ability to participate.
The daily preschool schedule helps children to predict their day and therefore participate more as well as reduce separation anxiety:
We are washing our hands, so we are going to have snack.
We always go outside after snack.
When we come in, we read a story and then Mommy comes.
Another purpose for having a schedule is to help you to intentionally balance active/passive activities and teacher vs child led activities.
This helps to keep the children from “zoning out”, getting bored or conversely, becoming overstimulated by too little direction.
Yes, your daily preschool schedule IS a fine balance, and one you will need to observe, assess and make changes to as needed throughout the year.
Set up your preschool schedule so it is balanced and then review it throughout the year and make changes as necessary.
2. Plan for Transitions!
Let’s look at a sample portion of a preschool schedule for the morning portion of the day:
9:15-9:30 Circle Time
9:30-10:30 Center Time
10:30-10:50 Snack Time
10:50-11:20 Outside Play
11:20-11:30 Story Time
1130 Dismissal
Looks great right? But, there’s a problem!
You haven’t allowed time for clean up after center time, handwashing before snack or putting on jackets before going outside.
Inevitably, this will result in outside time being shortened from 30 min to 10 min or removed all together and just doing a teacher-led active game or a round of the Hokey Pokey as you play catchup.
