What to Bring for Your Child
-
One complete change of indoor clothes.
-
Indoor and outdoor footwear.
-
Blankets and a favourite stuffed animal for nap time.
-
For infants please supply formula and baby bottles, and baby food until able to eat table food.
-
Many children like to have their own labelled water bottle, especially in the summer.
-
Diapers and wipes if your child is not yet potty trained. If your child wears cloth diapers, send enough of these with your child for the day.
-
Sunscreen and hat during summer months.
-
Warm jacket, snow pants, mitts and hat during winter months.
-
If your child is going to be picked up after 5PM and you would like child care staff to give them a snack at this time, please provide it. Do not include any peanuts or other nuts in their snacks. Please ensure snacks are healthy. Our Nutrition Policy can be found on Page 32 of our Parent Handbook.
Drop Off and Pickup
Parents should drop children off between 730 and 1000AM. Children and child care workers may be out of their classrooms after this time, particularly in the summer.
Pickup must be no later than 530PM. Please see Page 11 of the Parent Handbook to review our specific policy.
Absences
Please notify daycare staff by 930AM if your child will not be attending Little Sprouts that day. If you are going on holidays, please notify staff in advance. This ensures that child care staff can appropriately plan for the days' activities.
