Do children need to be toilet trained?
At our school, we believe in maintaining a comfortable environment for all students. Therefore, we encourage families to ensure that their children are fully potty trained before they begin attending our school.
In the event of an accident, we understand that this can happen to anyone, and we are happy to provide support to your child. The teachers will be there to provide verbal instruction. The child will be standing in our classroom bathrooms that have saddle doors. However, if there are consistent accidents and your child is unable to clean themselves independently, we will contact you for support, as outlined in our school’s policy.
We kindly request that families continue to reinforce potty training with their children, even after they begin attending our school. This will not only benefit your child but also help us to maintain a comfortable environment for all students.
