Toileting
Children may use the bathrooms at any time. Although a child is toilet trained accidents still happen. We will handle these situations very discretely and matter of fact. Please be sure your child has a complete set of extra clothes in his/her cubby (shirt, pants, underwear, and socks). We will follow the following procedure if a child has wet or soiled clothing.
- Reassure the child that accidents happen and that we will help him/her get changed.
- Retrieve the child’s extra clothes from his/her cubby.
- Supply the child with 2 plastic bags, baby wipes and a clean sheet of paper (for sitting on)
- Verbally encourage and physically help child if needed, to remove their wet clothing and place it in one plastic bag.
- Verbally encourage children to use the wipes to clean themselves and place used wipes in the second plastic bag.
- Direct child to wash his/her hands.
- Verbally encourage and physical help child if needed, to dress into clean clothing.
If your child has had an accident you will find a card in your parent mailbox. The soiled clothing will be in a labeled bag in the plastic container found outside the office.
