Make sure your child has all the supplies she needs. Keep extra clothes in her cubby in case of spills and potty accidents. If your child comes home wearing the spare clothing, make sure you bring a fresh set the next day. If your child's class is doing a special art project, be sure she has the tools she needs. Report any illnesses to your center or preschool.
Germs travel fast among children.
The caregiver needs to know if your baby has been exposed to any highly contagious disease such as pinkeye or chicken pox, or a more common ailment such as a cold or cough. Let caregivers know if your child needs extra care on a particular day. If your little one didn't sleep well the night before, or your partner is away on a business trip and junior's missing him, let the staff know. Let the staff know if your child's routine will change on a given day. If grandma's in town and wants to pick up your child in the afternoon, tell the caregiver.
