What to Bring

Please write your child’s name on everything that comes to preschool.

We work hard to minimise our rubbish at Hunters Hill preschool. We compost our organic waste and ask families to choose to send their child’s food in recyclable containers rather than using plastic wrap or prepackaged food.

Each day your child will need to bring:

  • Preschool Hat (this can just stay in your child’s bag).
  • Morning tea in a labelled container your child can open.
  • Lunch in a labelled container your child can open.
  • Water in a labelled drink bottle.
  • Sheets/towel labelled and in a pillow slip or small bag (these will stay at preschool for the week, going back into your child’s bag on their last day of the week to go home for a wash).
  • Spare clothing labelled (please check this clothing every now and then for seasonal changes and because often the clothing that fits children in February no longer fits them in November).
  • Backpack that is able to fit all items comfortably inside.

Clothing and sun protection

We are a SunSafe Preschool and therefore have clothing guidelines set in our Sun Protection Policy guided by the Cancer Council of NSW.

Your child must always have their shoulders covered, wear their school hat (Children are allocated a coloured sun hat depending upon the classroom they are in. Lilly Pilly, Wattles and Blue Gums) and be otherwise dressed to play.

Children are NOT to wear items that will restrict their play OR could result in harm. These include:

  • Drawstrings;
  • Hoods;
  • Loose clothing;
  • Scarves;
  • Thongs;
  • Healed or backless shoes.

Please note: Midriff, crop or single tops/shoestring strap dresses do not provide enough sun protection and therefore are
not recommended. If children come to preschool in clothing that is not sun safe, we will provide them with appropriate
clothing from the spare clothes collection.

SUNSCREEN

SPF30+ Broad Spectrum sunscreen is provided on each sign in table throughout the year. We ask that families
apply sunscreen to their child when they arrive at the beginning of the day. We will reapply sunscreen after
four hours should it be required.

Please note that your child will engage in messy play and art experiences throughout the day. While we take
care, we take no responsibility for their clothes being stained during this play so ensure you do not send your
child in any items that are of value to you.
