GETTING READY

Getting Ready for Drop-in Babysitting

We communicate with families using a free app called Seesaw.
Please download it to your phone or other device.
When you arrive, we will give you a code so we can text with you through Seesaw.

For all time slots, please pack drinks and snacks.
For the afternoon time slot (12 to 5), pack lunch.
For the evening time slot (5 to 8:30), pack dinner.
Remember, we do not allow popcorn, hard candy, soda, nuts or nut products.
Since the children may not share food, please pack each child’s food in a separate lunchbox or lunch bag.
Label the lunch bag, all of the items inside it, and all drinks.
We have a refrigerator and a microwave.
For health reasons, we do not prepare cups or bottles, so please pour everything in advance.

We prefer gym shoes because we play in the school gym.
For young children, please bring a plastic bag with spare clothes in it. Please label the bag and the clothes.

Children are not required to nap.
If you would like your child to nap, when you drop off, please let us know how long you would like the nap to last.
We have nap mats.
Please bring a blanket. You may also bring a small pillow if you like.

Children are not required to be potty-trained.
If your child is training, when you drop off, tell us about your expectations for the day.
Please bring all diapers, pull-ups, wipes and cream.
