Toilet Training

At Child’s Paradise Day Care Centre, we do not have a specific age for toilet training, however it is expected that every child enrolled is encouraged to perform the toilet routine of sitting on the toilet. Toilet training is achieved when the child has control over urination and bowel movements. Successful toilet training can only be achieved with consistent routines and when a child is able to communicate the need to eliminate.

When the child shows some readiness, the staff encourages the child to sit on the toilet at routine times. Staff works closely with the parents on the training of the child.

It is important that the child receive positive reinforcement when deserved and acceptance when an accident occurs. Toilet training takes time. We feel that the toilet training process should be a happy time for the child and parents.
