minimize confusion. We do not recommend using permanent markers for any items
remaining at the Center because the ink washes off over time.
Diapering
KLA provides diapers for your child as well as wipes, diaper ointments and creams.
Please have your child arrive at the Center in a clean disposable diaper. If your child
is allergic to a certain brand of disposable diapers, wipes, or if there are any products
you don’t want used on your child, please let us know so alternative options may be
discussed.
Toilet Training
Consultation between the Center and the parents is important when beginning to toilet
train your child. Training will be done with positive reinforcement, cultural
sensitivity, not using foods for reinforcement, and will follow a routine established
between the parent and staff. Toilet training be completed before the child enters the
preschool classroom. If you so desire, we will assist you in finding resources and
getting advice on this topic.
Once your child has 90% success keeping his/her pants dry and initiates using the
toilet, he/she may be brought to the Center in underpants. If the child is messing
his/her pants regularly at the center, parents may be asked to bring the child to the
Center in pull-ups until he/she is more successful.
Hooks and Baskets
Each child has his or her own labeled hook and basket in their room for coats, extra
clothes, lunches and other items. Please include the following well-labeled items in
your child's basket.
Change of clothes
Seasonal - snowsuit, hat, sunscreen, sunhat, swim suit, etc.
If your child’s clothing should get too dirty or unsanitary, we will change your child’s
clothes and put the soiled clothes in a plastic bag and leave it on your child’s hook. If
your child does not have extra clothes, the Center will provide a change of clothes.
These clothes are labeled and should be returned to us after laundering.
