The day-care centre’s daily programme for smooth everyday life

Everyday life for children at Engel day-care centres is built around a regular day programme. We feel that it is vital for important and everyday activities to take place safely and unchanged from one day to the next. Day-care centre-specific daily programmes differ slightly from one another. For example, mealtimes and the times of afternoon outdoor activities and hobbies vary between the day-care centres.
