Sunscreen will be reapplied to Extended Day children before heading back outside in the afternoon.  If you would like sunscreen applied to your child before the 11:30 playground time, please let your child's teacher know and we will make sure it gets applied. 
​
​If you have not completed a form yet, please email Libby and she can email you a copy. Please note that sunscreen must be provided by the parent and the authorization form must be complete in order for us to be able to apply sunscreen for your child. Having aerosol sunscreen bottles is very helpful for ease of application for our staff.

Snack
MCH provides nutritious snacks during morning, afternoon, and extended day times. The snack menu is posted on our website. Throughout the week, we offer a wide variety of snack choices that meet virtually every dietary need. However, if your child has dietary or nutritional concerns that make it necessary for you to provide snack, please ensure that the snack is clearly labeled in a separate container in the child’s lunch.  Please click here to view the snack menu.

Children who Nap
​If you have indicated through the enrollment form that your child is a napper, they will have a nap period from 1:00-2:30 daily. If you have an MCH nap blanket please send it with your child. If you are new, please send your child to camp with a crib or twin size fitted sheet and small/light blanket inside a pillowcase.
