Nap & Toilet Training

Nap
A nap mat is provided by the school for students in the pre-primary and primary classes. Students in our pre-primary class will have a 60-minute nap period after lunch each day. Students in our primary class have the option of napping or staying awake for an afternoon work cycle. If your child sleeps with a small blanket, a pacifier or a small special stuffed animal or lovey, please place those in your child’s backpack.

Toilet Training
If your child is in the process of toilet training, please send at least three extra pairs of underwear and pants to school. We also ask you to send an extra pair of shoes. Our approach to toilet training is one of positive reinforcement and encouragement.  Children are not pushed or shamed into using the toilet.  By the age of 2.5 – 3 years of age, we find most children no longer require diapers and are using the toilet regularly. *students must be fully toilet trained before advancing past our toddler classroom*
