Is there a checklist on what I should prepare for my child to take to childcare?

Hi Jacqueline, depending on how old your kid may be there are a couple of things to add to your daycare bag. If your kid is still in diapers, you’ll be asked to send a case of diapers (6-8), and a diaper rash cream. You’ll also need extra pants that include both cloth and reusable plastic pants. If your kid is potty training, you’ll still need the same number of pants and 5-8 pairs of underwear. Don’t forget to add baby wipes. In all this, its also crucial to not forget extra outfits, extra socks, and a spare pair of shoes. If your toddler will be going outdoors, make sure to keep the weather in mind and add a sweater or sweatshirt. Nap-time items Check with your daycare on how they plan to put your baby to sleep. Accordingly, you can send across a blanket, pillow or mat cover and if your kid uses a pacifier to sleep, add that too. As for food and drinks, you may be asked to pack three lunches and snacks. It’s best to send fresh finger foods and add a few extra in case your kid is a fussy eater. You can add cheese slices or pasta or fruits and diced peppers or even a soft turkey or tuna sandwich. In addition, do add medications (if required) and sunscreen.
