How do I pack for daycare?

Question

My daughter is 2 and has never been in daycare. I know nothing about daycares so what do I need to pack for her per day? Extra clothes? How do I do this? Do sippy with milk need to be pre bottled?

Answer

Your daycare should provide you with a list of things needed. You will most likely need to label everything too

Answer

Extra set of clothes, diapers/pull ups, diaper cream, sunscreen, any medication needed while there, sippy cup, passie if using one

Answer

Here they want minimum two full sets of extra clothes - but here they are often out all day the whole week.  And of course diapers, sunscreen, outdoor wear and shoes - for all weathers, things for nap time. 
My best tips is stickers with name and phone number on and mark clothes and things like a crazy person!

Answer

Daycare should provide you a list.

Answer

Every daycare handles it differently, so just ask. Our kids have a bin at daycare with their extra clothes and butt paste. We send diapers (usually a sleeve at a time). The only stuff we take back and forth is outside winter gear so they can play at home too. She provides the wipes, food, milk, cups, etc. Our kids don’t bring any of their own toys or anything like that.

Answer

Ask if they have a list for you. At my kids’ old daycare they had cubbies that they kept extra clothes, diapers, and wipes in. They even kept a pacifier for my little guy and washed it with his water bottle. I only had to bring jackets during the cold months.
I’m starting at a new daycare in a couple weeks and they sent an email this week to bring the obvious like diapers and wipes (bring a whole sleeve and they’ll let me know when I need to bring more), extra clothes and undies for my potty trained one. I supply the water bottle and they’ll clean it there every day. They get to keep a lovey to sleep with there (I never send their primary lovey, always a backup). I supply a nap mat and bring it home every weekend to clean.

Answer

Depends on the daycare. Call and ask. We only provide 2 outfits and a "smelly bag" (non plastic bag to put soiled outfits into). They provided for everything else.

Answer

at the daycare i work at, she would need an extra pair of clothes, diapers, wipes, and anything extra she needs, like if she has to have a certain toy or paci to fall asleep, medicine, rash cream if needed, etc. we have their own sippy cups that we keep here so the parents don’t have to worry about bringing one back and forth

Answer

Ask if they have a list they can give you. Our old daycare provided one for each season and it was helpful!
