I'm Wagon Jr.'s room parent and the teachers email me a wish list every month, and I email out to the other parents so people can sign up to bring in craft supplies and lysol wipes... small things like that. In terms of toys, books, and playground equipment they do a fundraiser every year to purchase those things. </p> <p>Our daycare is run by a local non profit so it's nice to do things for them!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-donate-stuff-to-your-daycare#post-194995 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 11:27:46 +0000 purrpletulips 194995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our daycare requires parents to bring their own sunscreen and other such items; not sure their policy on donating toys and books. They often ask for donations of things like plastic shopping bags and items to be used for crafts which we donate when we have them available. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-donate-stuff-to-your-daycare#post-194633 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 23:02:25 +0000 Honeybee 194633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, we donate sunscreen and craft supplies. Our daycare has a billion books and toys, so we just donate the things they go through quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-donate-stuff-to-your-daycare#post-194307 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 16:49:22 +0000 Andrea 194307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They have a lot of fundraisers so they can buy what they want. I am usually lazy so we just cut them a check. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-donate-stuff-to-your-daycare#post-194299 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 16:44:26 +0000 Rubies 194299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet but once LO starts, I would love to donate stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-donate-stuff-to-your-daycare#post-194288 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 16:39:07 +0000 Mrs. Bee 194288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes! we donated some toys and shelves (and had a handyman install them) and will definitely be donating more stuff. our daycare is a nonprofit.</p> <p>it's tough with toys because they have to be ones that charlie hasn't seen or hasn't played with for a long time, otherwise he will think they are his! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-donate-stuff-to-your-daycare#post-194246 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 16:00:00 +0000 autumnlove 194246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our monthly daycare newsletter was asking for donations of sunscreen, new books, and toys for the infant class.</p> <p>I think I will buy the sunscreen and a few books! </p> <p>Do you ever donate to your daycare? </p>
