Potty training at daycare can be a smooth experience with the right tools and teamwork between caregivers and families.
1. Communicate with Parents First
Align on readiness signs, language used, and routines. Consistency between home and daycare is key.
2. Create a Routine
Schedule potty breaks every 1–2 hours. Encourage children to try even if they don’t need to go.
3. Use Positive Reinforcement
Praise successes and stay calm during accidents. Stickers, songs, or high-fives help encourage progress.
4. Keep Potty Supplies Handy
Have spare clothes, wipes, pull-ups, underwear, and a potty seat or child-size toilet.
5. Track Progress
Use a potty log to track attempts, successes, and accidents. Share updates with parents.
6. Be Patient
Every child learns at their own pace. Stay positive, supportive, and flexible.
With teamwork, tools, and patience, potty training in daycare can be a successful milestone for everyone involved.
