Clothing
Children should dress comfortably so they can sit at the tables or on their floor rugs to work, play, paint, etc. Individual directors may have their own dress guidelines, which will be communicated to parents as appropriate. Children may be asked to change when deemed necessary by the director.
Shoes should be sturdy, closed toe with non-skid soles. Please refrain from sending children in shoes that flash or light in any way. These types of shoes can be very distracting to children working on floor rugs. It is not necessary to purchase new shoes. We find that first aid tape works well to cover flashing lights on shoes. |
