Children enrolled should be able to attend to their own personal hygiene. Children attending are required to be toilettrained and able to use the bathroom independently before they begin the program. If your child has an excessiveamount of accidents, the staff will communicate with the parents to see if they can come up with a plan for the childto succeed in toileting issues. If the child continues to have accidents regularly, the child will be suspended until theyare fully potty-trained. We will hold their spot for the remainder of the year (school/summer).
An extra change of clothing should always be packed or in their locker.
Definition of Being Potty Trained
A child is considered fully potty trained when they are able to:
● Recognize the need to use the bathroom and communicate that need to an adult.
● Use the toilet independently, including:
○ Pulling down and pulling up their own clothing.
○ Sitting on the toilet (with or without a seat insert).
○ Wiping themselves to the best of their ability.
○ Flushing the toilet.
○ Washing and drying their hands.
● Stay dry during naps and throughout the day with minimal to no accidents.
● No longer require pull-ups or diapers during the day, except in rare circumstances approved by parentsand the director (e.g., medical or developmental needs).
Being potty trained means the child can manage toileting with minimal adult assistance and is able to consistentlyremain clean and dry while in our program.
