Learning happens more effectively when it is repeated. The very “everyday-ness” of our routines and rhythms make them incredibly valuable learning experiences all of the children are involved in. Our daily routine and rhythm is very flexible and guided by the children’s interests, the weather and other events taking place. Educators provide support for the children while they are becoming familiar with our routines and rhythms and this support is adjusted as the children learn and their capabilities increase.
