Diaper checks are done at specific times during the day as well as when required. Please provide a supply of diapers (cloth or disposable), wipes and diaper cream/powder. As children are ready staff can begin potty training in partnership with parents or guardians plans at home. Parents are encouraged to discuss with staff potty training strategies to ensure continuity and establish an individualized plan.
Children will be assisted with wiping for as long as needed, but encouraged to be independent when developmentally appropriate. School age children are encouraged to let the Centre staff know when they need to use the bathroom, and they are also reminded before outdoor play and other transition times.
Staff may diaper a child after a couple of accidents during the day as unfortunately the program ratio's do not allow for undivided attention to potty training. This will be at the staff's discretion.
In the event that a child is unable to reach the bathroom in time, the child will be given clean clothes from their locker, soiled clothing will be placed in the child’s locker to be taken home to wash. Staff will assist children in getting cleaned up as appropriate and will advise the parent/guardian at departure time.
