So part of having a schedule that you follow is actually having a schedule to look at, so that everyone in the room, teachers, parents, substitutes, and child alike know what is coming next. If it is large enough that you can see it from anywhere in the room then you don't have to divert your attention from what you ae doing to figure out what time something is going to happen or what is coming next. If you make it with pictures than the kids will know what is coming next and they will be able to be at peace that their favorite part of the day is coming.
If you use a pocket chart than you can change the order of things without too much excitement in the room. Or you can put specific pictures such as playdough on the days you are doing play dough and mr. potato head on the days you do potato heads. . .
Or you can be a little less specific and more rigid and just stick to your schedule every week and have it on a poster board unmoveable. I think that is what I will do. When I get it made I will surely post pictures of it.
anyhow a large visual schedule will make all nurserys run more smoothly.
