Potty training in the group: how do you organize it?

In a busy group, potty training can sometimes feel like an extra challenge. Yet guiding children to potty need not be a time-consuming chore. With a set routine and clear agreements, it becomes a natural part of the day.

For example, start with set potty times: after fruit, before playing outside or after bedtime. This prevents accidents and gives children structure. Make sure there is always a potty or children's toilet available in a quiet, safe environment.

Make potty training visual through a potty chart, pictograms or a reward system. While doing so, be sure to keep it motivating without applying pressure.

Alignment is also important in the team. Speak the same language, use similar words toward children, and align your communication with parents. A common approach gives confidence, both to the child and the parents.
