At FACE Children's Center one goal is to introduce children to many experiences through art, cooking, music, and play. During our free times we like the children to use our educationally sound games, toys and dress up areas. We encourage them to be creative inventing games, have fun while learning, and develop friendships. After discussion and looking back over the years, we have decided not to allow toys from home. Our reasoning is simple:

1. Home toys get lost and broken
2. Home toys are not always appropriate for school settings
3. Home toys are difficult to share
4. Home toys can cause upsetting situations between child and parent at drop off times

1. Baby dolls and small stuffed animals will always be welcome for naptime
2. Books to share with the class are always welcome (no coloring books)
3. Show and tell items are encouraged
