So much learning can happen when children are involved in daily routines! Routines are how children make sense of his/her word. Through routines, children start to understand:

• the organization of their world (e.g., After we wake up, we get dressed. Then we have breakfast. Then we brush our teeth)

• what to say/what others say during particular routines and when to take their turns

• new vocabulary associated with a routine

• theirs and others' social roles

• how to participate in conversation
