A schedule provides structure and helps reduce behavior problems by setting clear expectations for children. An effective schedule blocks time for classroom activities and sequences them, while considering factors like a child's age, length of the program, flexibility for special events, and balancing structured and unstructured time. It helps children understand routines and feel more engaged.
