Potty Training
Potty Training
The most important factor in making the toilet learning experience successful and as low-stress as possible is a family/teacher partnership that supports the child. Research indicates that children cannot successfully learn how to use the toilet until they are physically, psychologically, and emotionally ready. Many pediatricians say that most children under 24 months of age are not physically capable of regulating bladder and bowel muscles. Most positive toilet training occurs only after children show signs of physical control or awareness of their bodily functions and when they demonstrate an interest or curiosity in the process. We are committed to working with you to make sure that toilet learning is carried out in a manner that is consistent with your child’s physical and emotional abilities and your family’s concerns. Please note that we do not allow pull-ups as part of our toilet training program. A list of recommended potty-training supplies is available upon request.
Rest Time
Rest Time
After lunch, all children older than 12 months of age participate in a quiet rest time. Children are not required to sleep and may be given quiet activities. Children are allowed to sleep as long as they need and will not be woken. Any child showing a need for sleep will be allowed to do so.
Please supply a moderately-sized lightweight blanket for children 12 months and older for napping. This should be left at the facility during the week and taken home to be laundered on Fridays.
