What to Pack for Your Child's First Day of Daycare
First days are big. Here's everything we recommend packing so you're not scrambling that morning.
Two full changes of clothes. Accidents and spills happen, and that's okay!
Diapers and wipes if your child isn't potty-trained yet (we'll let you know when supplies run low).
A labeled water bottle and any special snacks if your child has dietary needs.
A comfort item like a stuffed animal, blanket, or family photo can ease separation.
Sunscreen and a hat for outdoor play (we love our boardwalk strolls).
And most importantly, a hug, a confident wave, and trust that we've got them. We'll text you if anything comes up. Promise.
