Naptime - a blanket and pillow; we provide a wipeable mat and bin for storage. Every Friday, the pillow and blanket will be washed at school.
Messes - a full change of clothes inside a ziplock back with their name on the outside.
Outside Play - send weather-appropriate clothing for late morning play outside. In the winter, we play outside unless the temperature is below 20. There will be lots of snow play, so snowsuits, mittens, hats, and boots are a must:)

Health
In order to “Stay Healthy,” a few procedures developed by Caring for Our Children, have been implemented. Hand washing; upon arrival, after blowing noses, toileting, playing outside, or with the cats. Along with washing before/after mealtime, sensory, and playdough time. We follow a standard hand-washing procedure posted above the sink.
Surfaces in the facility are sanitized throughout the day. Toys are sanitized on a rotating basis, or after being “mouthed.” Bedding is washed weekly, and the children are spaced 2 feet apart from each other at naptime to avoid the spread of germs. · An illness tracker is used to document, report if necessary, notify parents, and identify any procedures that could prevent the spread of the illness. If a sick child has been in the facility, additional sanitizing methods are implemented.
