Please send back in. Many of the Montessori materials consist of several pieces, beads, etc. One missing piece renders the material unusable. Each child must have a set of slippers to keep in the classroom. The children gain practice and independence in dressing.
Slippers also keep out sound and wetness.
Due to the fact the classrooms have tile and wood floors, we recommend slippers have a rubber covering on the bottom. All items should be labeled in a gallon ziploc bag. The weather turns cold quite quickly, so be sure to send in long pants and sleeves. We encourage you to send your children in clothes that are comfortable and for play. The children should be able to be manage their clothing independently.
