We totally send them in just their socks frequently. Of course they're still in the baby room, but I think the other kids in there are usually just in socks, too. When we first started daycare, we would send them in socks and shoes, but they always ended up in the bag. Now, we do usually have them wear shoes since their walking, but I hadn't even thought about this being a policy. Guess I should check!

The kids normally take off their shoes when they get inside. They only put their shoes on when they go outside to play or it's time to go home. We go to an in-home Montessori if that makes a difference. kiddosc on "Do you have to send LO in closed toe shoes to day care?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-to-send-lo-in-closed-toe-shoes-to-day-care#post-1477947 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 10:40:51 +0000 kiddosc 1477947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes they require it, but he can wear sandals that are closed toe so we do that in the summer.

They do have water play every morning in the summer so we send her in water shoes (got keens for this summer) with socks and shoes to change into after water is over.

Now at elementary school it's only required for pe days.

I know we have a closed toe shoe policy. I haven't asked about crocs though. Fridays are "water play" day in the summer and I wouldn't want her getting other shoes wet so I hope they allow crocs! littlebug on "Do you have to send LO in closed toe shoes to day care?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-to-send-lo-in-closed-toe-shoes-to-day-care#post-1477886 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 10:26:09 +0000 littlebug 1477886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yup. I have to ask when they enforce that rule. They never said anything last year when he was in the infant room, but I imagine now that he's moved up to the toddler room, we'll have to invest in some shoes. Eep! MsLipGloss on "Do you have to send LO in closed toe shoes to day care?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-to-send-lo-in-closed-toe-shoes-to-day-care#post-1477881 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 10:24:59 +0000 MsLipGloss 1477881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes. And considering that all the other kiddos--and teachers!--regularly wear solid-soled closed-toe shoes, I would not want my LO's feet exposed, even if that meant her feet got a little sweaty (my LO has sweaty feet too).

Ditto @Mamaof2 on the crocs since those are slippery Mamaof2 on "Do you have to send LO in closed toe shoes to day care?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-to-send-lo-in-closed-toe-shoes-to-day-care#post-1477810 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 10:10:13 +0000 Mamaof2 1477810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ yes for safety reasons They also say "no crocs" autumnlove on "Do you have to send LO in closed toe shoes to day care?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-to-send-lo-in-closed-toe-shoes-to-day-care#post-1477807 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 10:09:49 +0000 autumnlove 1477807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't think it is in our policy.

I need to ask the teacher next week when she moves up to the Toddler 1 room. Her feet get so sweaty now, I hate to think what they are going to be when she is playing outside in the summer.
