I honestly think it depends on the children. I am of a mind that it also depends on the activities. I like to see these centers very simple and accessible to get started--so that we are learning how to do centers before learning how to do centers. Our teachers have four week before a round of one on one assessment. I encourage them to have these routines in place before that happens.
