What to Bring and What to Wear?

We are outside all day, and it is important to have the right gear for the weather. SF weather can get wet and we recommend keeping rain gear and boots easily accessible.

All items should be labeled and fit inside a child sized backpack.

  • A labeled change of clothes (shirt, pants, underwear, socks) in a waterproof bag

  • Snacks and Lunch in backpack (We strive to be waste-free, please use reusable containers when possible)

  • A filled water bottle

  • Bug Spray & Sunscreen (optional)

  • Sunhat and warm hat

    Rainy Day Extras

  • Children should have full rain gear which includes rain pants, or rain bibs, raincoat and boots. There are also one piece rain suits that some families prefer. We recommend the two piece option either traditional rain pants or bibs, this way children can remove a piece if they are warm.

    Please help your child dress in layers and comfortable shoes or boots every day.

  • Base layer preferably synthetic or wool, not cotton

    Extreme Weather

    Unfortunately we do experience some extreme weather from time to time. In these cases we may need to call for early pick-up or move to a different space. Whenever possible we will notify you with as much notice as we can provide.

    During times when wildfire smoke is present Forest Bloom monitor air quality and use several different apps to monitor the AQI. It is unsafe for children (and adults) to be outside for long periods of time if the AQI is 100 or above. We will not be able to meet on days with poor air quality. If we are able to move to an indoor space we will notify families.
