    Q. What items do the preschoolers need to bring to school?

A. We request that on the first day the child bring a ziplock bag, (marked with the child's name), containing a complete change of clothing: shirt, pants, underwear & socks. This is kept in school for the duration of the program in case of any unforeseen accidents which necessitate a change. Children may also bring a backpack for transporting papers and water bottle. Please refrain from bringing in toys from home, as they may become damaged, lost, or not make it back home in one piece.

    Q. What should my child wear to school?

A. We request that children wear comfortable shoes and clothes that you would not mind getting paint, goo, playdough, wet, or craft supplies on.
