Research studies have shown that schedules and routines definitely impact children’s social, emotional, and intellectual development. For example, predictable and consistent schedules in preschool classrooms help children feel secure and comfortable. Also, we know that when you explicitly teach children about the daily schedule and the steps to the everyday routines, this reduces the frequency of behavior problems, such as tantrums and acts of aggression.
