Our Class Schedule at Seattle Creative Kids
A predictable schedule helps children feel secure and allows time for planned, quiet, self-initiated indoor and outdoor activities. Free choice time allows children to connect with each other, exchange ideas and develop their negotiation skills. Transitions and interruptions are minimized to allow enough time for extended play
