Important Information

  • 🧺 Daily Essentials Checklist

    Please label all items with your child’s name.

    • 🎒 Backpack – Big enough to hold everything below and easy for your child to carry.

    • 🥤 Water Bottle – Refillable, leak-proof, and labeled.

    • 👕 Change of Clothes – Include a full set (shirt, pants, underwear, socks) in a gallon-sized bag.

    • 🧥 Weather-Appropriate Outerwear – Coat, hat, gloves, rain boots, etc., depending on the season. We play outside daily!
