Because this teaches them to stay on task, for example if they are done with snack time they go and brush their teeth and wash their hands. After that they go and read a book and wait for all children to be done, then they know they are going to be doing a craft or activity. —Robin

having a routine and structure is beneficial because it helps the kids understand that a daycare is just not for playing all of the time. While having a routine the kids are listening more and they know the routine. Here’s our daily daycare routine

Getting kids into a routine helps the kids memory, because they have to remember that before and after eating they wash their hands. And having a good structure allows the kids to grow and learn more comfortably and free

The routine for me for children is to keep them busy, daily task like circle time, play time and snack time, sing along.

The daily structure can be easily get the hang of children to follow every day.

# data[].attributes.body
Routine and Structure benefit children by teaching them independence, a sense of security, and it supports cognitive and emotional development.

1 example is when the children have quiet time at the daycare, some parents let their children nap only for an hour because they end up staying up late that night, but on Fridays, they’re allowed to nap for as long as they please since it’s a weekend and they don’t have to wake up early for daycare the next day. There’s a couple children that still nap for about an hour as they are used to napping that long. They are used to the routine of nap time.

Another example is the children know what time is snack time after their nap. If they wake up earlier than snack time, they know that it is time to read books before snack time so they know where to go (to the book area) rather than going anywhere else in the classroom while their friends may still be sleeping. Then once reading time is over, they go to the washroom to wash their hands before they get their snack.

Circle time reading at 9:00am is a good start to the day, I love that we all greet each other. It is beneficial to them as it reminds them we are all friends at day care, this improves their social and emotional development.

Snack time is beneficial as these healthy foods help build stronger muscles and bones, maintains energy levels to support focus and learning.

Keeping children’s on routine and structure is a good feeling for the kids to know what to do from time to time, helps them remember the routine during morning and afternoon and to know what to do at home also, they know when its clean up time before morning snack, they go and read a book wait for their names to be called and they know where to sit after they wash their hands before snack time, the structure at daycare is also involved somedays, children’s are put together as a small group (4 group) to do puzzle & reading books,colouring, playing in the toy kitchen….

Structure

Putting puzzles together, teaching children to do puzzles, also some children knows how to do puzzle… colourful blocks being put together..

Encourages independents; Routines like putting the toys away after playtime teach children responsibility and self-skills, fostering a sense a accomplishment, Verna K.

Routine and structure is so beneficial for the children because it helps them timely, when they just get into daycare it is free play until 9:20, at 9:20 we ask the children to clean up and everyone is to help each other, after that they know to go to circle time and we all greet each other with good morning. Most kids know that it is snack time after circle time which is 10:00 and we get them to wash their hands beforehand.

Routines are great benefits because it teaches them it’s not always free time to play, there’s reading a book, arts and crafts and sometimes playing out which they get excited for too. Routines help them stay clean and healthy, as we serve healthy food that benefits their body, mind, and teeth. It helps them keep track of what comes next also!

Children are having free play first thing in the morning, and then there’s washing/brushing after snack time.

Provides security, builds self-confidence, and helps with emotional regulations. To create one, set predictable wake up and bedtime schedules. Create step-by-step routines for common activities like morning and afternoons. And use visual aids like padlets to help children follow along.

Routines help children to become more independent and helps them understand their surroundings more effectively, helps them feel more secure, and build self confidence.

Structure helps children to become more organize, and helps build regeneration skills and build resilience.

Why is it important to have routine for the daycare children. It is important to have routine because children have a lot of great memory. They will understand it is important to do our regular routine everyday at daycare, especially when we get new children to join in our daycare.

Structure for the children, it is important to have structure because it helps them build their confidence in themselves. I love seeing children grow at daycare esp when they first start and get the hang of it.
