Parents of infants not yet drinking whole milk supply bottles of either formula or breast milk, or any combination thereof. Diaper cream, sunscreen, or any medications or topical ointments must be supplied by parents and accompanied by a consent form (stored at front desk).
Parents are encouraged to dress their children in seasonally suitable play clothes that are appropriate for inside and outside play. Please realize that the hands-on way in which children learn can result in messy clothes! Each child should have a complete change of clothes at the Center at all times, including underwear and socks. Children who are beginning toilet training must have 3 extra changes in their cubbies each day. Parents should check every day for soiled clothing to be taken home, and periodically to make sure that the clothes still fit and are appropriate for the season. All clothing left at the Center must be labeled to help avoid loss.
Children may bring a special blanket and security toy. Parents should check with the staff for their child’s group concerning policies for bringing other toys and/or items for sharing. Weapons and “fighting toys” may never be brought to the center. Parents and children should be aware that when toys and items for sharing are brought to the Center there is increased chance of breakage and/or loss. The Center cannot assume responsibility in the case of breakage or loss.
