🎃 Yes—we do wear costumes on Halloween! We can’t wait to see all the fun and festive outfits.
A few friendly reminders to help make the day fun for everyone:
- Please avoid costumes that are scary, as we want to keep things fun for all ages.
- For children in diapers or toilet training, make sure costumes are easily accessible or removable for quick changes.
- Bring a change of clothes if needed
- Please check with your child’s teacher for details about their specific class party day.
