A full day at our center includes fun activities like singing, painting, indoor and outdoor gross motor play, dancing, and eating. We recommend easy-fitting and washable clothes. Children usually get dirty when playing on the playground, so please dress them accordingly. Being comfortable lets kids focus on learning and having fun!
Shoes
Be sure shoes are rubber-soled and closed-toe with a closed heel or heel strap. To keep everyone safe, flip-flops, sandals, and shoes with wheels are not allowed. Shoes are required for all walking children.
What to Keep at the Center
Please provide two complete sets of extra clothes, including socks, for your child. It’s always a good idea to keep an extra pair of shoes and a sweater or sweatshirt at the center, too. Clothing should be labeled with your child’s first and last name and checked periodically to make sure it still fits.
In hot weather, apply sunscreen to your child before arriving at the center and dress them with hats/visors and tightly woven clothing to help prevent sunburn during outdoor play. Please note you’ll need to supply sunscreen and an authorization form if you’d like us to apply it at the center.
In cold weather, provide appropriately layered clothing to keep warm, including mittens or gloves, caps, hoods, or hats, sweaters or sweatshirts, socks, and warm waterproof outerwear and footwear. We do gross motor play outside in the winter as well.
For their safety, we do not allow any shirts, jackets, sweatshirts, jewelry, or articles of clothing that tie around children’s necks or waists—except to accommodate specific personal or religious beliefs. Please remove all drawstrings.
Sometimes learning and fun can get messy! The center isn’t responsible for lost, stained, soiled, or torn clothing.
Diapers, Wipes, and Bibs
We ask that you provide bibs, disposable diapers, and wipes for your child. If for whatever reason your child runs out of wipes and diapers, we will supply them for a fee. Please see your Enrollment Agreement for specifics.
