 DIAPERS

Diapers are not included in regular program rates. Infant and Toddler programs require parents to supply diapers. There will be a charge for using Moss Street diapers without replacing them.

POTTY TRAINING INFORMATION

Moss Street potty training beliefs:

We believe that readiness is individual and varies from child to child.

Potty training often takes weeks or months to accomplish.

The goal of training is for children to independently use the toilet when needed, not merely when directed to the bathroom.

Potty accidents are a normal and expected part of the process.

 

Most children need to experience both being wet and the sensation of what it feels like to need to go to be fully trained.

The biological ability to control the urge to urinate and defecate is dependent both on physical development and on experiences.

Our staff will remind children periodically to use the toilet but also help them change if they forget or have not yet understood their own internal cues.

When your child is potty training please be prepared with extra patience and extra dry clothing. Our toddler staff will be there to help you and your child in this sometimes frustrating and challenging but ultimately liberating process. Being free of diapers is a welcome accomplishment to children, to parents, and to our staff. We all can work together to help your child achieve this goal.
