Please pack the following in a backpack for your child:

• A healthy snack

• A full water bottle (Labeled with name)

• A change of clothes in a plastic or wet bag

• Any diapering needs (if applicable)

• Boots

• Rain Gear if the weather calls for rain

• What to Wear? Your child should be dressed for outdoor play whatever the weather - they are playing outside!! On most days, Joyful Beginnings starts the day outside, so account for that in dressing your child for school, especially in the morning with colder weather. Please note that it is often muddy in the forest (even on dry days), so please be aware that your child may be muddy when you pick them up.

• We ask that any clothing worn or backpacks/lunch boxes brought are free from large words or marketed characters (stamps and drawings are fine as long as they are not marketed characters).
