What should we bring?
Published guidelines ask families to provide:
- Bedding and a change of clothes
- Lunch when applicable; ask about lunch options
- Milk for infants and toddlers who need it
The guidelines list diapers, wipes and snacks among center-provided items. Check the current list with your center.
Growing into the next chapter
Getting ready for school.
Small, familiar routines can help make a new beginning feel more comfortable. Read together, visit your local library, talk about your child’s day and get to know their upcoming school.
Have questions about school-age options or transportation? Your center can discuss what is currently available.
