please share your 3yo's schedule if they are not in preschool

ds is going to start school in the summer and starting to sleep less. Would love to hear what your 3yo's schedule is like if they're also not in school (especially if they nap or not, when if they do....). TIA!

I wouldn't really call it a schedule, but her day usually looks like this.

Wakes up around 7:30am, breakfast around 8:30/9am

lunch around 12:30/1pm

dinner around 5:30
Bed at 7pm

She hasn't napped since she turned 2.
In between eating we run errands, read books, play dolls, watch movies, etc. And go to the park when it is nice out.

eta: She does go to school tuesday/thursday, but her schedule is pretty much the same since the class is 9:30-12:30.

DD turned 3 last month and is not in school. She goes to daycare 3 days a week. A couple of months ago she started going to bed obscenely late and giving us a very hard time about it (10-11pm). She was still napping 2+ hours (from like 1:30-3:30). So we stopped letting her nap. She's been a bit better but is still fighting bedtime and definitely not getting enough sleep. We are in the process of re-doing her big girl room so hopefully once that's done in another week or so, she will want to be in there.... we hope.
At the moment she's sleeping 9:30ish-7ish.

DS is in preschool, but 3 days a week
7 - 7:30AM wakes then breakfast
runs errands with me for me or taking his older brother to kindergarten enrichment class
pick up older son from school then lunch
on non preschool days he naps around noon (preschool days around 1:30 when he gets home)
naps around 2 hours (doesn't always nap, but will rest, play in his room or sleep)
snack when he gets up
plays
dinner at 6ish
shower, books with his brother and bed by 8PM
Later on the weekends and much more nonscheduled on weekends unless we need to be somewhere or have to be up early

NOt sure if you mean what do you actually do with your LO during the day i.e. activities or sleep/ eat schedule. DD"s schedule is the same on school days and non school days..
7:30 wakeup, glass of milk
7:30-8:30/9:00 TV
8:30 breakfast
1:00 Lunch
2-4:00 Nap
Snack after her Nap
6:30 Dinner
8:30, bath (every other day), pjs, brush teeth
9:00 books in Bed (wish it were earlier)

4 days a week she is in school from 9-12:00, Days that she isn't we try to set up a play date or park , or sometimes just hang out at home , legos, play doh, play outside, since its younger DD"s nap time. After her nap on all days its usually much of the same, coloring, tv, books, go for a walk, bake..

To be honest, although her nap and food schedule wouldn't change whether she was in preschool or not, I would be making more of a concerted effort to doing things with her like, reading, letters, legos etc throughout the day if she weren't in preschool, but I slack off a bit since I know she has had some actibity during the day at preschool, so I feel less guily about turning the tv on.

On the days DS doesn't go to school (he goes 2x a week), he's up between 7-9. He no longer naps on most days because he wasn't going to bed at night. He goes down between 930-10 as it is. He has breakfast within an hour of waking, lunch mid day, and dinner around 7.

My 3.5 yr old is in day care twice a week, he is home with me M/W/F.

He wakes up between 7-7:30.
I allow him to watch TV for a bit to "wake up"- until around 8:15 or so
Breakfast- 8:30
At 9:00 we get dressed and ready for the day- if we are going to head out we do it at this time.
From 9-12 we are usually not home- one day we have swimming, the other days we will go somewhere- to a friend's house for a playdate, the farm, mall, children's museum, park, etc.
We are home by noon and he has lunch.
He still naps, from 1-3 each day.
At 3 when he wakes up he has a snack and then we play for a couple of hours.
5:00 I put the TV on so I can start dinner. DH gets home from work around 6, the TV goes off & the 4 of us eat dinner together around 6:30.
At 7:00 he is allowed to watch one more TV show to unwind before bedtime.
7:30- bath
8:00- stories & snuggles
8:30- lights out

Thanks everyone!!! I guess it's time for ds to shorten his afternoon nap. I tried 1 hours instead of 2 and now he actually goes to bed without getting up all the time! Yay!
