Factors such as the age of the kids and the arrival time mean sometimes you need to change it up. All of mine are here by 8 starting at 6:30 so morning snack is 8:30-9:00. We used to do lunch from 12-1 and nap 1-3. I also had morning nappers who did 9-10:30 and then 1:30-3:00. (From 1-1:30 was baby circle where I could do things just for the little ones without the big kids horning in.)

Starting in Jan I took away the morning nap and also had another family ask for their child to be able to sleep longer so now snack is the same but scaled back to a simple breakfast top me up and lunch is 11-12. The two youngest go down at 12 and sleep till 3. The older ones now go outside 3 days a week (my daughter comes over after work and goes out with them) and the other two days of the week we will be working on prekindergarten skills like cutting, gluing , letter recognition - things the little ones aren't ready for anyways. They then go down for naps at 1:30 and sleep till 3:00. Snack is 3:30 which allows some to sleep more if they need and by the time they potty/diapers/shoes on it takes us the half hour. Pickups start at 4:00 - there is one advantage to early drop off and that is earlier pick up.

I have found unless snack is only a drink and cracker that a 3 hour gap meant they ate the best - hungry but not overlly starving so try to work towards that when I can.
