FFNS requires that all participants are fully toilet trained prior to starting sessions.

If your child has an accident, educators will happily assist them in changing into their spare clothing. However, FFNS cannot accept children into the programs who are using diapers or pull-ups during the day. Please ensure that your child is independently using a toilet prior to the start of the session.

The washroom facilities at Fern Flower – Nature School is available while we are indoors or in the yard. Nevertheless, children must be comfortable using the “washroom” outdoors, with minimal “coaching” from an educator. All educators will carry appropriate toileting and hand washing tools such as toilet paper, wipes, hand sanitizer, water and soap.

Educators will provide children with hand washing opportunities before and after meals and after washroom breaks whether indoors or in the nature. The educators will carry water and hand soap and hand sanitizer for this purpose on each outing.
