Food:
One hearty snack of fruits, veggies, nut or seed butter, rice cakes, or a meal prepared together as a class is provided at Teatime. A nutritious morning snack and substantial lunch should be packed daily in each child’s backpack along with a water bottle, and appropriate gear to enjoy whatever weather the day is forecasted to hold.
Gear:
The correct gear is essential. If properly dressed any weather can be enjoyed and embraced with glee. We require that each child be appropriately outfitted for the given season and forecast and are happy to provide support or advice for what we have found works best for the current or upcoming conditions.
Preparation:
Please take a moment each night to look at the forecast for the upcoming day in detail so that you can choose the best items to pack for your child. Many children enjoy this process if you would like to share it with them, and it is a great opportunity for exploring weather tracking and self-care.
