Toilet Training
All children are accepted at ECLC on the condition that they are fully toilet trained. Diapers may not be worn at school and children should be able to take themselves to the toilet and take care of their own needs. If a child clearly shows signs of no being toilet trained (frequent wetting of clothes, unable to recognise when they need to go to the toilet etc), the parents will be asked to keep their child at home until they are fully toilet trained.
