    Wet winter gear

    What does everyone do re: wet wonter gear? Today was pretty sloppy wet and everything got pretty soaked. I ask for back up's of mitts, hats, snowpants but I wonder if there is a way to dry them too. I don't want sandy/muddy winter clothes in my dryer of course.

    Anyone ever use an electric mitt dryer?

    I don't dry anything. This time of year we only go outside once so if it is wet then so be it. I always mention at pick up time that stuff is wet and parents need to dry it before they come back the next day.

    A couple of these places around the house work great if you are out in the morning and need items dry for afternoon!

    We only go out once a day in the winter so if they have wet stuff, it isn't a huge issue for me but there are times that I will throw the things in the dryer if they are soaking wet. I wouldn't want them to have to put on soaking wet stuff to go home. My dryer is in the basement where my dc is so it's not a big deal.

    As a side note.....no snow here!!! Whoop whoop!!! lol

    Really, it is full out winter here in Winnipeg. I'm jealous, though the kids like the snow. They roll from one end of the yard to the other in it! Lol

    I take the wet hats and mitts and lay them over my floor vents to dry. The snow pants I just hang them up so they aren't soaking wet to go home

    The reason I was looking into the electric ones was because my daycare is in the basement so the vents are in the ceiling. I didn't want to bring all their stuff upstairs at nap time, risk forgetting stuff etc. I think I'll just bring up the really wet stuff to dry and the other kids can use their second pair in the afternoon.

    My kids love the snow too. Well mostly just eating it!

    My poor group wanted to play in the snow so badly. My youngest daughter found the smallest patch of snow ever, and tried to grab it and throw it in the air. We want snow!

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
Updates
We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
