Supply and Clothing Requirements

What we ask families to provide

EBA is committed to providing a nurturing and engaging environment for all children. To ensure their comfort, safety and preparedness, we require the following.

Daily Essentials

Parents/guardians are responsible for providing an adequate supply of disposable diapers and wipes. A complete change of weather-appropriate, comfortable, washable clothing — suitable for active play and seasonal conditions (warm jacket, mittens, hat in winter) — must be provided daily. All clothing items, including the emergency change, must be clearly labeled with your child's name.
Emergency Preparedness

Each infant, toddler and preschool child is required to have a complete emergency change of clothing, clearly labeled, stored at the program. Please wash and return these items promptly when they are sent home.
Footwear and Rest

For daily safety, open-toed shoes and flip-flops are not permitted, except during designated water play activities. Children aged two and older (or younger, depending on developmental readiness) must provide a labeled toddler nap mat with an attached pillow or sleeping bag for rest periods, in compliance with Maryland childcare standards.
Supply Replenishment and Special Projects

We will notify you when your child's supply of diapers or wipes is nearing depletion. From time to time EBA may request specific materials for special projects; a detailed request form will be sent home outlining the necessary items.
