Be prepared
Once you’re enrolled with us, we’ll help you get prepared for a fabulous first day. Some things for you to bring each day include:
- Comfortable and weather-appropriate clothing and shoes.
- A change of clothes.
- Milk and/or water bottle
- Comfort items like a blanket, stuffed animal, or pacifier
- Any medications
Snacks and lunch and even dinner are all on us! We’ll share our seasonal, low-sugar menu when you enroll. If your child has special dietary restrictions or allergies, let's talk.
Understand protocols
It’s a good idea to prepare your child for some of the things we do to keep everyone in our community safe. Get some tips for our industry-leading health and safety practices.
For example, our staff members will be wearing masks. You can tell your child that we wear masks to protect ourselves and others from germs. Underneath every mask is a big, beautiful smile!
Stay connected
We keep you connected all day through the our ECE app so drop-off is less “bitter” and more “sweet!” When you enroll with us, the app gives you access to daily pictures of special moments in the classroom and updates on what your child is learning about. You can also use the mobile app to message your center from home, at work, or on the go.
