Essentials for new daycare

[5 Little Monkeys]

For Safety
* baby gates, cupboard locks, outlet covers
* fire extinguisher, safety kits in play area and outside, carbon monoxide detector

For Naptime
* playpens for 2.5-ish year old and younger, fold away cots for 2.5 and up or if potty trained
* spare blankets

For Toys
* assortment of toys for varying ages
* blocks, dolls, kitchen play, cars, balls, little people, books are the most basic and what most kids will play with. This is what I started with and than bought more as I went along.
* weather is nice so outdoor toys will be needed as well. Ride in/on's, play house, play structure, balls, chalk, bubbles, push toys, teeter totter

For Feeding
* I prefer a child sized table and chairs but if not, booster seats
* lots of child friendly dishes, bibs, cutlery

That's all I can think of for now
