Toilet Learning

Children do not need to be "toilet trained" to participate in preschool child care activities. Toilet learning is as individual to a child as learning to walk. It should be a positive experience for a child, and will take only a short time when the child is ready. There is no "right" age by which all children should be using the toilet; problems in toilet learning usually arise because adults don't pay attention to the child's lack of readiness. You should begin your program of toilet learning at home when you feel your child is ready. I am happy to assist you as your child learns to use the toilet; see our toilet learning policy for our complete toilet learning procedure, as well as tips to make toilet learning easier for you and your child. Children will never be punished for lapses in toilet learning.
