Currently we have 3 out of 5 children potty training at the daycare. Children must show an interest in potty training and be able to announce when he has to go potty. Children who show interest may use pullups and those who can announce when they have to go can wear padded underwear. All children potty-training should be wearing user-friendly clothing.
When accidents occur, your child will be expected to help with correcting the situation, including cleaning up their mess, packing up their soiled clothing, and retrieving and changing into their spare clothes. This is necessary in order to reinforce that it is more pleasant to work on learning to go potty properly, rather than simply make a mess and let someone else clean it up.
Some children may do well at toilet training for several weeks, then decide that it’s too much trouble and they don’t want to be bothered with having to remember to go on their own. If your child experiences a lot of accidents (more than one or two per week) and/or your child begins to experience other difficulties with toileting, such as refusing to go, willfully making messes, refusing to be responsible for cleaning up their accidents, etc., then it may be necessary to return the child to pullups or diapers.
Please keep in mind that the burden of training your child to successfully go potty will need to reside with you. I simply do not have the time and resources to devote to training each child individually since I care for more than one child at a time. I will do my best to assist you in your training efforts, and will consult with you to be sure we coordinate our efforts in order to present consistent expectations at home and at daycare. But ultimately the responsibility to potty-train your child must rest with you.
Feel free to discuss your concerns with me regarding your plans to potty train your child. I will attempt to help you to the best of my ability.
