Daily Schedule

What a Day Looks Like

Every day is thoughtfully structured to provide medical care, therapeutic support, and developmental activities.

Morning Arrival & Health Check

Children arrive by family drop-off or transportation. Our nursing team assesses health, reviews medications, checks vitals, and ensures comfort for the day.

8:00 AM

Breakfast & Morning Circle

Each child is fed according to their individual care plan, including tube feedings as ordered. We then gather for music, greetings, and a look at the day ahead, followed by developmental activities like sensory play, puzzles, blocks, and crafts, all adapted to each child’s abilities.

10:00 AM

Movement & Therapy

Children build strength and coordination through walking practice, stretching, and therapeutic play, always at their own pace. If your child has therapy needs, this is a time when sessions may take place, alongside our movement and play activities.

12:00 PM

Lunch & Rest

Our care team handles mealtime, hygiene, and toileting according to each child’s plan. Children then enjoy quiet time while our nurses continue their individualized care.

2:00 PM

Afternoon Learning & Play

After-school children arrive and join in as we share a snack and explore books, colors, shapes, numbers, and communication. The afternoon continues with music, movement, sensory activities, and outdoor or adaptive play.

4:00 PM

Wind-Down & Heading Home

We slow the pace with an afternoon feeding as ordered, story time, music, and coloring. Our nurses complete final checks and share an update on your child’s day, whether your child is picked up by family or transported home.
