General guidelines for every family
Please label all belongings with your child’s full name.
Breakfast, lunch, and two daily snacks are provided — there’s no need to bring food unless your child has a specific dietary or medical need. If so, please talk with us directly so we can accommodate it.
We ask that toys, electronics, and money stay home unless a specific activity calls for them.
Any medication must be provided in its original packaging along with written authorization — see our Medication Policy for details.
