Every Friday, pillows, blankets and sheets go home to be cleaned and come back on Monday.

Infant rooms
We follow the infant schedules parents fill out. Formula must be brought in capped bottles (no glass), either ready to refrigerate or as powdered formula stored in your child’s cubby with empty bottles. Breast milk should be in ready-made bottles. Parents also provide all baby food and enough diapers for the day, plus an extra change of clothes. Each infant has a crib, receiving blanket and crib sheet provided by the center. Diaper rash cream or powder can be stored at the center.
