Do you have any lunch restrictions?
|
We ask that you don't send candy, soda pop or anything that requires heating. A good thermos is a better option for keeping food warm. Also, containers need to be child friendly and easy to open. We do have a fridge in the kitchen you are welcome to use for any lunches that need to be kept cold. Peanut butter sandwiches are permitted unless we have a child with a peanut allergy in which case you would be notified.

|
Do you have a dress code?
|
We do not have a dress code. We ask that you send your child in washable play clothes. We want your child to feel free to explore and play without worrying about their clothing. Tennis shoes work better than sandals on the playground. Dresses need to have shorts underneath.
|
|
Does my child have to be toilet trained before coming to school?
|
Yes. Our classes are not designed to accommodate diaper or pull-up changing. Also, your child will be expected to clean himself/herself after using the bathroom.
