All schedules are adaptive to work with each individual child’s developmental needs and/or recommendations of his/her individualized learning plan.  For example, if it is recommended that a child be allowed to stand during Circle Time this is allowed; Or if a child has fine motor delays the teacher will guide the child toward those activities which will develop fine motor capabilities.
