What your toddler will need

1. An adequate supply of diapers or pull-ups and wipes. A special note about diapers — if your child runs out of diapers, we will borrow diapers from another child until more diapers are received. However, we will replenish the diapers we borrowed with diapers from your child's pack.

2. Ointments or creams to be used when diapering your child. Please alert the caregivers if your child is sensitive in the "diaper area" and needs multiple applications during the day.

3. A fitted sheet and blanket for your child's cot. At the end of the week, these items will be placed in your child's cubby for laundering. These will need to be brought back the first day they return to the center the following week.

4. An extra set of seasonally appropriate clothing. Please place the clothing in a Ziploc bag, clearly label the bag with your child's name, and please include the date the clothing was brought to the center.

5. A "comfort" item to sleep with at nap time. Nap time can be a very stressful time for a toddler, and so, these items are very critical during the initial weeks in the Older Toddler Room.

6. Sunscreen. We only need this item during the warm spring days and hot summer months. Please make sure the SPF is 30 or above and that you clearly label the bottle with your child's name.

Parent Information

1. Share with us the things your child shares with you about their day at The Children's Garden.

2. Work closely with us in your child's development. Share with us their milestones and accomplishments!

3. Remember to communicate — good or bad — with us! Build a strong relationship with all the teachers in the classroom.

4. Read all memos and daily reports so that you can stay informed of what is happening in the classroom.

5. Build a strong working relationship with us.

6. Check Parent/Teacher folders everyday for important daily correspondence.

7. Remove all worksheets and artwork daily.

8. If you need to speak with a teacher and do not see them when you drop off or pick up you child; please leave a note on the teacher's counter or contact them at the Center office.

Allergies

• The Children's Garden day Care Center maintains a peanut and nut free environment so it is imperative that no peanut or nut products enter the building.
