Parent Information

Helpful information for our families

At Little Einsteins Daycare, we strive to provide parents with all the practical information they need to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for both children and families. This page serves as a guide to daily routines, meals, items to bring, communication methods, and our safety policies. We believe that keeping parents informed and engaged is essential for creating a supportive, nurturing, and connected community.

What to Bring Each Day

Essential items for a comfortable day

To ensure your child’s day at Little Einsteins Daycare is safe, comfortable, and enjoyable, we ask parents to provide a few essential items. Having these on hand helps children feel secure, participate fully in activities, and transition smoothly between home and daycare.

Key Items to Bring:

    • Comfortable Clothing: Weather-appropriate clothes that your child can move and play in freely.

    • Diapers & Wipes: For infants and toddlers who are not yet potty-trained.

    • Comfort Items: Favorite blanket, stuffed toy, or pacifier to help with transitions and nap time.

    • Extra Clothes: A full set of clothes in case of spills or accidents.

    • Water Bottle: Refillable bottle for staying hydrated throughout the day.

    • Sun Protection: Hat and sunscreen for outdoor play.

    • Labels: Please label all personal items with your child’s name to avoid mix-ups.

By providing these essentials, your child can fully enjoy the Montessori environment, participate in activities comfortably, and feel at home throughout the day.

Communication with Parents

Keeping families informed and connected

At Little Einsteins Daycare, we believe that strong communication between parents and educators is essential for a child’s growth and well-being. We maintain an open and transparent line of communication, ensuring that parents are always aware of their child’s progress, daily experiences, and any special needs or milestones.

We provide updates through multiple channels: daily reports, emails, phone calls, and in-person conversations during drop-off and pickup. Parents receive information about meals, naps, activities, and developmental achievements. Our team is always available to answer questions, address concerns, and collaborate with families to support each child’s individual journey.

By keeping families well-informed, we foster a supportive partnership that strengthens the child’s learning experience and ensures every parent feels confident and involved in their child’s Montessori education.
