Customizable Alarm Clock Suggestions

I would like to help my kiddos with our schedule by getting an alarm clock that I can customize the alarm sounds to. For example: At 7am a voice from the alarm clock would say “Line up for morning medicine and vitamins” and would repeat that message until someone turned it off. Then at 7:20am “Everyone get in the van, time to drop off at school!” Ect. I’d like to be able to program different alarms for different days.

I’m sure I could do a Bluetooth alarm and find a way to do it from my phone, but I’d prefer to just program it straight to the alarm clock and have stand alone. I often use the Bluetooth option for other devices and our WiFi isn’t consistent.

Does anyone have something like this that they use or have seen? I’ve done a brief look on Amazon and wasn’t seeing what I’m looking for.

      We have an Alexa show — I can’t say I recommend it — BUT I wonder if using a kid Echo or something would let you just have Alexa set reminders. I’m not sure she’d repeat until someone tells her to stop, but she does say most reminders a few times.

        I use my echo dot for this. Each of the kids have one in their bedrooms and I have one in the kitchen. I love that I can broadcast announcements too like “dinner is ready.” She keeps me on task with all my kids meds so I don’t forget them.

        We have pretty reliable Internet though, I’m not sure how much of a pain it would be if we didn’t.
