ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Pacifiers If your child uses a pacifier, please provide two to be kept at the Center. There will be a labeled hook available to store them. We also encourage you to bring a pacifier clip so that your child is less likely to lose their pacifier or have other children sampling it. Please let the Infant Lead Teacher know whether or not your child needs or likes a pacifier when taking a nap. Blankets The Center will provide blankets and a crib sheet or cot cover for all children who sleep at the Center. This allows us to have clean linens available at all times. You may bring a stuffed animal and/or a personal blanket from home if it is clearly labeled. The Center launders sleep materials weekly or sooner if needed. If you would not like us to launder your child’s blanket or stuffed animal at the Center, please take it home each Friday and return it on Monday once it has been laundered at home. Children’s Attire Children should be dressed in play clothes. They play hard and shouldn’t need to worry about staying clean. Dressing children in layers of clothes provides them greater comfort for cold winter weather and allows for them to cool off on those days that start out cold and get warm later in the day. In the winter they should have hats, boots, and mittens, snowsuit or extra change of clothes. We will make every effort to keep track of your child’s things but are not responsible for lost clothing and other articles. Two changes of clothing should be left at the Center at all times for each child as back-up for when accident occur. Car Seats When arriving at the Center, your child cannot be left in a car seat. If your child is sleeping, you may put him/her in a crib. Please leave your car seat in your car or outside the infant classroom along the wall. Strollers may be left in the coat area of the lobby. Labeling In order to keep track of your child’s belongings, please clearly label all items that you bring into the Center. Label makers work well with plastic items such as cups, pacifiers, etc. The Center is able to label these for you if you wish. Laundry markers, fabric paint or iron-ons work well with cloth items such as blankets, burp cloths, clothes, etc. Please label these items with your child’s first and last name in order to
