Preschool daily schedules and routines are so important for our little learners (and teachers, too). Routines help students feel safe and secure because they know what is coming next and what is expected. Another helpful side effect of scheduling is that fewer problem behaviors occur when a schedule is consistently followed. Students learn the sequence of the day and can begin to predict and anticipate what will come next. Research tells us little learners NEED visual schedules and consistent routines.
