At the Rose Garden we let our schedule flow with the seasons. In the cold months we start inside, once the sun warms the Earth we move outside. In the warm months we start outside, and when the sun gets too hot we move inside. We eat when our bodies get hungry and rest with quiet stories and naps when they get tired. We celebrate the changing of the seasons, marking them with festivals. Below is our typical daily schedule:
