CLOTHING: Your child will be going outside every day. Please select clothing which is appropriate to the weather. An extra set of clothing can be stored in the child's cubby for use in case of toileting accidents or spills. Label all items to avoid loss or confusion. Soiled clothing will be returned to you in a plastic bag. For sanitation reasons, our caregivers may not rinse out soiled underwear. Children are expected to participate in outdoor activities. If your child is unable to do so,  he/she is better cared for at home that day.

DIAPERS: We allow only disposable diapers in our CDS programs. Medical exceptions will be allowed with receipt of a signed statement from your doctor. Bring enough diapers to allow for frequent changing. Your caregiver can tell how many will be needed daily.

TOILET TRAINING: When your child develops a first interest in using the toilet, speak with your primary caregiver. Toilet training should be a cooperative effort. We will try to support the patterns you are establishing at home. Your caregiver can provide you with professional brochures and articles about this developmental process. Generally speaking, children are ready between 2-3 years of age and have language or signals to indicate toileting needs to an adult.
