WHAT TO BRING FOR YOUR CHILDREN

Please click below to view what we need you to bring to assure we have a successful day!

  • We request that you bring diapers in bulk for your child’s first day and we will alert you when it is time to replenish their supply. It is better to have too many than not enough, so we suggest 8-10 per day.

  • Pack a full container initially and bring a refill package and we will follow-up to replenish them as needed when they run out.

  • Send your child with two or three outfits initially, sealed and labeled in a bag. We will send home any soiled clothes to be replaced as needed. Include socks in addition to different weather appropriate clothing. Your child will be spending time both indoors and outdoors, so they’ll need to be comfortable all day.

  • If your child uses a pacifier, we recommend keeping 2 at Chosen Childcare to ensure there is always one on-hand if your child needs comforting. Please label each pacifier with your child’s name or initials with a non-toxic marker.

  • Each day, pack enough bottles for the time your child will be at Chosen Childcare and an extra in the event of an emergency. Each bottle must be labeled with your baby's first and last name. If you are providing your own breastmilk or formula, please take a look at the important reminder below.

  • If you are providing rash cream for your child, you must fill out a medication form provided by Chosen Childcare and store the labeled cream in a sealable bag.

BREASTFEEDING & FORMULA REMINDER

If you are breastfeeding you will need to bring in the allotcated amount of formula your infant consumes daily in labeled baby bottles that reads the child’s full name , contents and date or if you decide to use formula, you will need to sign the permission form for our staff to prepare your child’s bottle of formula. We recommend placing pre-made bottles in a sealed bag to prevent leakage. Bottles will be sent home daily to was and remake.
