Children get hot/cold very easily.  Please be sure to send in your little one properly dressed.  Layers always work best and having an extra sweater around in the colder months can help ease the chills.  In addition, closed toed shoes are required on the outside playground (no flip flops please).

School Uniforms can be purchased online & delivered to your home or at Ideal Uniforms – 175 Rockaway Avenue, Valley Stream NY 11580
