Fall/winter gear requests

[5 Little Monkeys]

You are quite generous to provide the bottom half of clothing. Your parent's should be thankful and at least have the decency to send the proper top half of clothing. I do have a few spare things here but I don't let the parents know about them. I send home clothing reminders about 2x a year (summer/winter) and request certain stuff. I try not to get too specific but I do let them know that they need to be in proper gear. If they send something that doesn't work I speak to that parent. Nobody has ever had an issue with it and for the most part, most of my families leave spare things here.

As for wet clothes, I do dry them if needed. My laundry room is in the basement where my daycare is so it's no hassle for me. The past winters I have gone outside in the morning but I think this year I am going to try the afternoons because like playfelt said, it's warmer!! This way it also means that I am just dressing the kids, not dressing and undressing! lol.
