Dress & Diapering
DIAPERING POLICY
Little Hands takes responsibility for ensuring children’s diapering and dress needs are being taken care of. Therefore, we will provide diapers to children in our care. We ask that you provide a bag of extra clothing for your child in case of accident or mess. These clothes will be labeled with your child’s name and stored in their own basket in our diapering and dress area. If your child has sensitivity and you would like to provide your own diapers, please feel free to do so. We will keep these diapers in your child’s diaper basket in the diapering area.
At Little Hands, diapering will be done in the diapering area. This area is kept clean and sanitized before and after each use. Employees will wash their hands before and after each diapering using soap and water. A washcloth, towel, or both, used for diapering will be promptly placed in the basket for laundry and will be washed and sanitized. Disposable diapers will be properly disposed of according to state health standards, and cloth or reusable diapers will be cleaned and taken care of according to the state standards as well. Diapers will be changed when soiled or wet. Staff will periodically check to see if diapers are in need of a change.

TOILET TRAINING POLICY
Toilet training will be planned in partnership with the parents. We strive to ensure that toilet training practices are as consistent as possible with the home structure. At a minimum, the center will ensure that children wash their hands properly after using the toilet, and that all toilet training devices will be cleaned, sanitized, and emptied after use. Children will have their own bathroom, and staff will have a separate bathroom. If you have any diapering, dress, or toilet training needs, or questions, please do not hesitate to ask us.

A note on weather appropriate clothing:
Please note that we ask you to bring your child in weather appropriate clothing each day. We are unable to provide extra hats, gloves, and scarves for each child though we would love to do so. If you cannot bring these items, please speak with us and we will assist you.
