General Dress code policy
We ask that all clothing be appropriate for childcare. We do many activities, and sometimes messy activities.
• Although children always have access to smocks and other protective clothing and are asked to wear them for messy types of activities, there may be mishaps. We don’t want to ruin anything that is special to you or your child.
• We ask that you leave at least, one complete extra outfit for your child in their cubby.
o Because children grow so fast, it is important to check the fit and weather appropriateness of these extra clothes from time to time.
• We require you send your child in closed-toed rubber-soled shoes for their safety. Socks are recommended.
• Always label everything with your child’s name.
• Rain boots and snow boots for garden and outdoor play.
