Is your child old enough to help you make the schedule? Make it out on paper first and try it for a few days. If it doesn't agree, change it. If it does, put it on a large poster. I used to draw a picture of a clock with the hands in the position of what time we would be doing that activity. I had a real clock beside it. It was easy to look and see what time it was and what time the next activity should start or end. It worked well. I also used lots of color in it, such as nap and sleeping times were blue, meals and snacks were all red..... Also, be sure to have "free times" in there. Free time can be unscheduled play, or a time when you decide what to do during the free time block--such as go for a walk, ride bikes, read a book...
