What To Bring To School:
- A complete change of clothing, appropriate for the season. This should include
underwear, at least 2 pairs of socks, a shirt, and pants. Please check and restock
regularly especially in the winter.
- Every child should have a labeled lunch box or lunch bag with a nutritious daily lunch,
drink, napkin and any utensils they may need. No candy or gum is allowed at school
and we do not microwave or warm lunches. The state requires that an ice pack is
included in each child's lunch box to keep things cool. Snacks are provided by the
school. Please inform us of any food allergies your child may have.
- Full-day children, should have a blanket and one soft toy that fits easily in their nap
crate. Please remember to label them.
- From December - March, please bring boots, snow-pants, hats, mittens, and jackets
regardless if there is snow/mud on the ground as we go outside daily except in severe
weather.
- We recommend children wear casual clothing that is okay to get dirty as we do many
messy activities.
- Sneakers are the appropriate footwear for school (especially for outside) as dress-up
shoes or clogs can be quite dangerous during active play.
- Parents of children still in diapers must provide and keep a supply of disposable
diapers and wipes in their cubby.
Some Notes:
Every child should be dressed for the weather of that day. Please remember to label
everything with names and symbols. Each child will have a cubby space assigned with
their room for their daily needs.
Although we accept children in our program who are not toilet trained in September, the family
is responsible for initiating the toilet training of their child during the fall months. Children will
be encouraged and supported in their efforts at school and must be well on their way to
underwear by January.
We try to help children realize that school may not be the safest place for their most precious
toys or other possessions. However, it is often important to a child to bring something from
home for show or hold onto. Please refer to the handbook under "Personal Toys" on
guidelines regarding toys in school.
