The Power of a Predictable Day at Dolores Way

Step into any classroom at Dolores Way and you'll notice a picture schedule hung at your child's eye level. Simple images lay out the whole day, so your child can read it without asking.

Children feel calm when they know what comes next. Our picture schedules answer that before your child even has to ask: now we play, now we eat, now we rest. Knowing what's coming next helps your child settle into the day and take on each part of it with confidence.

When your child can count on the same rhythm every day, they learn that their classroom and their educators are dependable. That kind of trust is where executive function takes root, in focus, self-regulation, memory, and adaptability, the skills your child will use long after they leave Dolores Way.
