Looking for a typical daily schedule with toddlers? You’re in the perfect place! I used to be 100% a pen and paper kind of gal. Then I had our son, and I became all about that digital calendar #momlife. But during the pandemic, I rarely left the house, so I wound up in a simplified combo of digital and paper planning. Which is where my free daily printable schedule comes in!

Our Typical Day
A typical day in our household runs on a predictable routine. This makes it easy for our toddlers to know what’s coming next and helps me plan our days. Each day varies slightly (if we have nannies or Lachlan has preschool), but the idea stays the same. After breakfast, they play. After snack time, we leave the house! These predictable activities help everyone know what’s coming – which makes them happier and well-behaved.

FAQs about our schedule
A look into an average day at our home:
- 5:00: I wake up
- 7:00: Kids wake up, get dressed, make beds, clean up rooms
- Breakfast
- The kids play while I clean up and run through our daily chores. If Lachlan has school, we drop him off now
- 9:30: Snacktime – While they eat I do a playroom reset
- 10:00ish: This is the bulk of our “learning time”. We get out of the house, visit the library or meet up with friends, and do activities together. I use the daily lessons in my Play-Based Toddler Homeschool Curriculum to guide our learning.
- If Lachlan is at preschool, we pick him up
- 12:00: Lunch
- 1:00: Naptime
- 3:00: Wake up
- 3:30: Prep dinner
- While my kids play, I either play with them, clean, wrap up any chores from the morning, play outside or head out on a walk – Getting outside (no matter the weather) helps pass this time
- 5:00: Start and/or finish making dinner
- 5:30: Eat a family dinner
- 6:00: Start bathtime
- 6:45: Kids go to bed
- 7:00: I clean up the kitchen and playroom (wipe down counters, prep coffee, start the dishwasher)
- I read the following day’s lesson in my toddler curriculum and prep anything I can, ahead of time
- I set up the playroom so it’s inviting for the next morning (move toys around, switch up any toys that aren’t being played with, and possibly set up a new activity) – this is a huge help for encouraging independent play in the morning!
- 7:30: Relax/Work/Hang out with my significant other
- 8:30: Get ready for bed
- 9:00: Sleep! (I go to sleep early because I prefer to wake up early)
Weekly Routines
Some routines are done weekly or monthly instead of daily, so I keep those on my printed out schedule.
Everyday:
- One small load of laundry
- Fill the diffusers
- Let chickens out
Monday:
- Pick up the house
- Clean the bathrooms
Tuesday
- Take out the garbage
Friday
- Water plants
- Wash all the sheets
