ITEMS NEEDED FOR INFANTS

The following are items that all infants need:

* Bottles and Caps (Labeled with his/her name)

* Diapers and Wipes (Labeled)

* Extra Clothes (2 changes to be kept at the center) (Labeled)

* Tissues 

* Formula 

* Pacifier (Labeled)

Reminders: Each month there will be a reminder on the door to bring wipes and tissues. Teachers will notify parents on the infant daily sheet when they need more diapers. 

Labels: Children may have similar items, therefore, we ask that all items be labeled with a sharpie (for clothes, they can be labeled on tags) so they can be differentiated. 

Formula: Parents with children in the Infant Program will need to supply formula until the child is one year of age and able to consume whole milk and table food. 

Diapers & Wipes: Teachers will notify parents in advance when needing additional diapers or wipes. Parents who fail to supply their infant or toddler with disposable diapers will be charged an additional diaper/wipe fee, or will be asked to bring them to the center when the child runs out, or they will be asked to pick the child up. We do not share diapers with other children.

Blankets: Tender Loving Care provides blankets and sheets. Sheets are washed daily. Blankets are washed once a week. If you prefer, your child can bring his/her own small-crib blanket. It will be washed with the other blankets each week. 

Shoes: Each day that weather permits, children go outside to play. Even though the playground has astroturf, pecans and pecan shells fall from the tree and can hurt their feet.
