Daily Routine
A balanced rhythm of play, learning, meals, rest and outdoor experiences guides each day at Happy Bubby.
Our daily routine provides a predictable, reassuring structure while allowing flexibility for individual children's needs, interests and energy levels. The routine below is for our long day care program (0–5 years). Before and after school care, vacation care and other arrangements have tailored routines — please contact Rebecca for details.
