CLOTHING AND PERSONAL
BELONGING
When dressing your children for school, keep
in mind some of the activities that are scheduled for them at the Center
on a regular basis. Think of messy art materials, of playground fun, of
changeable weather, and provide clothing that is easily washable, and most
of all comfortable for the children. It is also a good practice to provide
clothing that makes toiletry easy for the children (Please dress your infant
or toddler in such a way that diapers can be changed easily). Shoes selection
is most important for the safety of the children. In outdoors and indoors
playground the children will need shoes that are supportive and allow freedom
of movement. Sneakers are ideal! We strongly suggest that children do not
wear sandals, as they provide the least amount of support and stability.
Please mark all removable clothing (coats, jackets, etc.) with the
child's name on the label.
Every infant and toddler must have:
-
A change of clothes (in labeled plastic bag);
-
An adequate supply of diapers (daily or weekly);
-
Baby food or table food (Toddlers lunch in clearly labeled lunch box - Infant
formula in labeled plastic bottles);
-
Toddlers will need a crib sheet or small
blanket (Please take sheet or blanket home every Friday for
laundry).

TOILET
TRAINING
Toilet training for Toddlers will begin at or about
22 months of age, unless otherwise specified by parent(s) or guardian(s).
It is preferable
for children to be introduced (two to three weeks) to toilet training by
the parent(s) or guardian(s) at home, within more familiar and comfortable
confines.
Prior to beginning
toilet training at the Center, Parents will be informed of the Center's
intentions by means of a conference, to discuss preferences of methods, if
any.
Children will have
to be fully Toilet Trained before being promoted to the Preschool
classes.
