Toilet Training & Diapering
Each child will have access to the washroom and/or will be diapered regularly.
Diapering
Children who are not yet toilet trained will require wipes, any necessary diaper cream and diapers
which shall be housed in a labeled container in the child’s bathroom. If any diaper or over-the-
counter creams are required written directions must be received and kept on file. It is the parent’s
choice whether to provide cloth or disposable diapers. Please be advised that due to public health
guidelines, we will not be able to shake or rinse cloth diapers at the centre. All cloth diapers will
be contained in an individually labeled container to be taken home each evening by parents.
We have approximately five diaper change routines per day. This does not include unexpected
changes. We do not supply diapers - please ensure that your child has enough diapers on hand to
make it through the day in a safe and hygienic manner. If we do not have enough diapering
materials on hand to meet your child’s washroom needs, you will be called. You will need to
either arrange delivery of the required diapers or you will be required to come and pick your little
one up.
Please note that all diapers are required to be covered by clothing. If your little one is
being sent to the centre in a dress or outfit that does not cover the diaper completely you
are required to cover the diaper with any of the following choices: plastic pants, leggings
or tights, cloth underwear or shorts.
Toilet Training
Children who are toilet training will need a supply of labelled training pants. As well as a
larger supply of clothing including extra socks and a second pair of shoes/slippers will be
needed. It is important to keep clothing comfortable and easy for the child to remove
independently. (Overalls, tights/leggings, and multiple buttons can be frustrating at this
stage). Staff and parents will work closely and consistently to ensure the training goes
successfully and positively. Please be advised that due to guidelines we will not be
allowed to shake or rinse training pants at the centre. All training pants will be contained
in a plastic bag or an individually labelled container to be taken home each evening by
parents. Parents will be involved in all steps taken in the toilet training process. We are
working together to help your child through this milestone.
