What to Bring

  • two spare sets of clothes
  • a piece of fruit
  • gum boots in wet weather
  • 5 disposable nappies if required for children in the Wombat room

Please label your child's disposable nappies and place them on the shelf in the nappy change room. Please let us know if your child is toilet training and include numerous pairs of training pants.

Please toilet your child on arrival for those children who are toilet training. Wet clothes will be placed in a plastic bag in your child's locker for parents to collect.

Please label all your child's clothes. Although staff will look for any lost items, we cannot take responsibility for them.

On enrolment, families are required to purchase a legionnaire style hat for their child as part of the sun protection policy. This hat will then remain at the Centre for your child to wear all year around when playing outside.

The Possum children are encouraged to bring an item for 'show and tell' on some days, and to put them in the show and tell basket on top of the lockers.

Please do not bring anything that is precious or valuable.
