Come rain, come shine;)
We will be outdoors daily and on trip days Wednesdays, regardless of weather.
Play-based learning outdoors is all about being comfortable and prepared, so please bring these recommended items listed below labelled with your child's name.
On sunny days during spring/summer, we kindly ask you to apply a first layer of sunscreen before you drop your child off. We will then reapply as needed throughout the day.
