Restroom
Restroom
The restroom we use is shared with other students in the school! We have added a changing table to help with students in their stage of using the restroom. We know working in early childhood students not only learn and grow at their own pace but potty train as well. Our preschool team works hard with lots of positive support, reinforcement as well as confidence in the restroom. We also know that privacy is important so students will use stalls when going or trying on the potty as well as if they are being having a diaper/pull up change. We have the older students wait if they need to use the restroom as privacy is important.
Playground
Playground
Our morning students use the gated area small playground to work on the gross motor and sharing skills. We use outside toys such as cars, balls, tricycles and much more!
Our afternoon students start on the small playground and build their confidence up to the big kid playground. We however do not go past the ropes and not on the tall side.
