Please ensure your child is ready for the day with appropriate outdoor clothing. In the case that they are not ready for the outdoors, we will contact you to take your child home. You may return once you have all the items needed for a safe and warm day out.

Should it be convenient, please feel free to leave a “childcare set" with us if you are worried about not remembering every item each day.

​

• We will be going out daily (weather permitting)

• We decide if the weather is too bad or not, so make sure you bring the following items daily

• Our clothing may get messy, therefore we advise nothing fancy or of great importance

• If your child is 3 years old or older they must put these items on and take them off by themselves or with little help, as we will be helping the younger children

• We highly recommend that items be labelled with your child's name (if possible)
