We understand that many children would like to bring toys to the Centre, however ‘sharing’ these with other children can be a difficult concept for a child to grasp. We believe it is better therefore to leave personal toys at home.
Ownership
Please let your child bring a security toy only (i.e. dummy, rug, sleep teddy etc.). Ensure these toys are clearly labeled with the child’s name. No other toys are to be brought into the Centre. Great distress is caused to children by their own toys being lost, broken or played with by other children. Children who bring toys will be asked to place them in the Director’s office for the duration of the day.
Sometimes children accidentally put Centre toys into their bags and take them home. Please bring these toys back and hand them to a caregiver as sets of equipment need all pieces to be of educational value. We understand that the right of ownership is something that is learnt and certainly there will be no reprimand.
