Exactly. Don't rework YOUR schedule! I insist that families get their children on my mealtime and naptime routines before starting daycare too. And I stress that it is HEALTHY for the child. I can prove it. Yesterday we took the bus to a friend's house and got all off schedule and the children were messed up for the rest of the day and some parents were telling me about how their child woke up in the middle of the night. Routine is really, really important for children and for adults for that matter.
