What to Wear

We are messy, messy, messy!!! Please ALWAYS dress your children in clothing you don’t mind getting stained. We use “washable” materials, but the labels aren’t always accurate.

Also, please dress your children with THEIR independence in mind. Elastic waistbands and Velcro shoe fasteners are the best for where they are developmentally, so please, no belts, button/snap pants, or laced shoes. Your children will be SO PROUD that they can do it “All by myself!!!”
