Welcome back to KIP, and Happy New Year! We hope everyone had a great holiday. Now that winter is fully underway, we want to remind you of KIP’s cold-weather clothing guidelines.
We get our kids outside whenever possible. Many classes will go outside every day the temperature is above freezing, even if it’s just for a few minutes. Young children need the chance to breathe fresh air, run around, and use their “outside” voices. Therefore, please be mindful of the following:
- Backpacks should include a cold-weather change of clothes.
- Your child should have a warm coat, a hat, and mittens with them every day.
- All items should have your child’s name on them. We’re happy to help your little one get dressed, but we need your help to keep straight of all those coats, mittens, and hats!
- We suggest that girls wear shoes that are warm enough to play outside. Try to get her into boots or tennis shoes this winter!
