Children should wear comfortable clothing that allows them to run, climb, and play freely. As we encourage messy play, clothes may occasionally get dirty, so it is important to include a full change of clothes in their bag, including underwear, socks, and seasonal items. Cape Town weather can be unpredictable, so please also include a warm item of clothing to ensure your child stays comfortable throughout the day.
Sunblock and Hats
Please apply sunblock on all exposed parts of your child’s body before they come to school in the morning. We will endeavour to re-apply sunblock throughout the morning using the bottles of sunblock provided by parents that will remain in the classroom. A clearly marked hat MUST REMAIN in their school bag, for daily use. The sun is extremely dangerous for young skin, so PLEASE help us to protect your children.
Shoes
At this stage of your child’s development, they must wear shoes that fit correctly and allow for safe and free movement. Please ensure that your child wears shoes that allow for this development without compromising their safety (e.g. slip-slop beach shoes are dangerous, especially when running or climbing in the garden).
Lost Property
This a reminder to all parents to please make sure all your child’s clothing, lunch bags/boxes and water bottles are clearly labelled with their name and surname.
Unlabeled and unclaimed items are donated to a charity of our choice at the end of each quarter.
Warm Jackets and Boots
Please send a warm jacket to school each day and ensure your child wears closed shoes. We encourage parents to send in Wellington boots, which will be kept at school in your little ones’ locker to prevent their shoes from getting wet during early playtime outside. Kindly ensure that all items are clearly labelled.
