- Diaper Bag
- Diapers & Pull ups (preferably the open sided ones)

All of these items must be labeled with the child’s name. Bottles will be sent home each night.
Parents of toddlers must arrive in enough time to make certain the child’s outerwear is off and the child is settled. Please allow enough time at the end of the day to dress your toddler for the trip home.
PRESCHOOL PROGRAM – WHAT TO BRING WITH YOUR CHILD
Each child should bring their belongings in their own backpack. They should also bring an extra set of clothing (more than one set if the child is toilet training), and appropriate clothing for the weather. Please label your child’s clothes with their name. We ask that all toys from home stay at home.
SCHOOL AGE PROGRAM – WHAT TO BRING WITH YOUR CHILD
Each child should bring their belongings in their own backpack. They should also bring an extra set of clothing. Please label all your child’s belongings. We ask that all toys from home stay at home.
There will be an emphasis on outdoor and gross motor activities as well as an increasing level of responsibility and independence for the children. There are plenty of opportunities for excursions, small groups, crafts, movies, outdoor time, homework, and anything that should be of interest to the school age children. On trip days and school breaks, parents of children in the school age group must send a packed lunch from home.
