When you arrive, you are required to sign your child in on the sign-in board. Please take this opportunity to let the teachers know anything that will help set your child up for a successful day.
Each day is spent participating in a variety of art and play activities both indoors and out. Children should wear washable, comfortable clothing appropriate for the weather. To encourage self-help skills, please ensure clothing is easy for your child to get on and off. We will be spending a lot of time outdoors.
Children must be toilet trained before attending. We understand that toileting accidents happen during this transitional time and request that you pack extra clothes to allow for accidents if your child is newly toilet trained. We are always available to help all children in the washroom where needed.
