As our program involves play in sand, clay, paint, water and other messy activities, families are asked to send their children in play clothes which can get dirty as well as providing three spare changes of clothes to be kept in the cubby. A large part of our day includes outdoor play in all weather, rain or shine, so we ask families to make sure that children have appropriate outdoor wear for the weather.
