🍂 Fall & Winter Survival Guide
Helping families navigate the cooler months with confidence!
As the seasons change, so do our routines. From chilly mornings and messy weather to winter illnesses and cozy days at home, we’ve put together some helpful tips and resources to help your family make the most of the fall and winter months.
🌦️ Dressing for the Weather
Layers are your friend! Send children prepared for changing temperatures, including a jacket, extra clothing, and weather-appropriate footwear.
🧤 Keep a Winter Backup Bag
We recommend keeping extra clothes at school throughout the season. Snow pants, mittens, hats, socks, and an extra pair of shoes can make a BIG difference on messy winter days!
🥶 Cold Weather & Outdoor Play
Cold weather doesn’t mean we stay inside! When conditions allow, children will continue to enjoy outdoor play. Please make sure your child arrives with everything they need to stay warm and comfortable.
🤧 Sick Season Survival
Fall and winter often bring an increase in colds and illnesses. Help us keep our classrooms healthy by keeping children home when they are not feeling well and following our illness policies.
🧼 Healthy Habits
Frequent handwashing, covering coughs and sneezes, getting plenty of sleep, staying hydrated, and eating nutritious foods are simple ways to support healthy habits all season long.
❄️ Snow Days & School Closures
Winter weather can be unpredictable! Make sure your contact information is current and watch for school communications regarding delays, closures, or changes to normal operations.
🏠 Cozy Days at Home
When you’re stuck inside, keep it simple! Try baking together, reading books, building forts, doing a craft, having a dance party, or letting your child help with everyday household tasks.
❤️ Most Importantly…
Fall and winter are full of opportunities to slow down, connect, and make memories. A little preparation can make the colder months much easier for the whole family!

At 123 Grow, this is exactly why we prioritize connection, engagement, and meaningful play every single day.
