Toys
During the initial adjustment period I encourage your child to bring a piece of home with them; a special blanket, toy, or teddy can be very comforting. Photos of family members, neighbors, and pets can be left with me to help remind your child of familiar people if he or she feels lonely during the day. However, please do not bring your child's toys to daycare except on designated sharing/show and tell days. As much as I try to encourage sharing, this seldom works when it is the child's own personal toy. It only causes problems between them and the other children. Never send your child to daycare with toy weapons.
