Why post the group’s schedule
A steady routine reassures children: they know what comes next. It also helps the team, substitutes and student teachers follow the day, and answers parents who ask when nap or outdoor time is.
An example, not a rule
The schedules offered are common examples, to adapt to your group, your room, the season and your curriculum. For infants, the schedule stays flexible: each one follows their own rhythm of bottles, meals and naps, and the schedule is mostly a guide for the team.
How to use the tool
- Choose the group’s age: the matching example appears.
- Change a time or a label, remove a moment with ×, add one.
- Add the daycare and group names, then print.
Your edited schedule stays in this browser for next time. Nothing is sent to Maliah.
The real day, with Maliah Classes
The schedule says what’s planned; Maliah Classes, the free daycare app, logs what happened: meals, naps in progress with their length, activities and outings, in one tap or by voice. Parents see it in their child’s daily report.
