The first few days are an adjustment period to find the schedule and routine that works best for everyone — it calms down after that :)

  • From breakfast until dinner time
  • One break during the day, as arranged
  • Different families & children have different schedules — it’s not one-size-fits-all
Meals
  • Ensure the child eats breakfast, lunch & dinner according to the mother’s guidelines of what the child can eat
  • If the child is nursing, bring the child to the mother to nurse
Schedule
  • Children swim every day — kiddie pool or big pool. Kiddie camp counselors are required to go into the big pool with them
  • For children aged 1+, follow the schedule to the best of the child’s ability
Shabbos
  • Decreased hours, as arranged
Staff Life

Responsibility
  • Communicate with the mother to ensure the child is happy, the schedule runs smoothly, and everyone’s needs are met
