INFANT AND TODDLER PROGRAMS
Each infant is assigned a separate crib for sleeping. If
a crib is considered hazardous for an infant, regardless of age, the infant may be assigned to a cot with written permission
from the parent or guardian. An infant sixteen months of age or older may be assigned to a cot with written parental permission.
All children over thirty-five inches tall will be assigned an individual cot for sleeping.
Parents are expected to supply disposable diapers or pull-ups
for non-toilet trained children. Ointments, creams or other topical substances are considered a medication and will only be
applied if proper procedures are followed for the administration of medications. (See the "Administration of Medications,
Food Supplements, Modified Diets, or Fluoride Supplements" page in this handbook for more information.)
WOW will provide breakfast, a morning and an afternoon
snack, and milk with lunch for the infant and toddler children. Parents are responsible to bring pre-mixed formula in the
necessary number of bottles their infant will need throughout the day. Also when the infant is ready to be introduced to table
foods, parents will need to provide a nutritious packed lunch each day. Please remember that meal times can be very messy
for your child. Therefore, please dress your child in "play clothes" and supply bibs and changes of clothing as necessary.
We understand that your toddler may need help with some foods and might be reluctant to try new foods. The staff is here to
help your child during meal times.
The staff is very happy to assist you with your child throughout the toilet
training stage. When you feel your child is ready, discuss the matter with your child’s teachers and they will continue
your efforts at the Center.
