While children at daycare may be a little young for a traditional blazer and tie, they're just the right age for the most basic form of uniform: a custom-printed t-shirt. While some daycares ask the children they look after to wear special t-shirts to every session, a daily uniform isn't their only function. There are also many specific use cases where a t-shirt with your daycare's name and logo on it could come in handy. Here are just a few to consider.

T-Shirts to Keep Kids Safe on Outings

No matter how many adults you have chaperoning your daycare outing, keeping track of dozens of excitable children can be a difficulty. Daycare-aged children are often too young to follow instructions well; it only takes a second for one of them to sprint away or lag behind and get lost. Custom-printed t-shirts are one helpful way to eliminate panic and make keeping track of children easier and more efficient.

Get t-shirts made in a bright, easily-spotted colour like orange or green. This will help you quickly spot any children who wander off so you can round them up before trouble starts. Alongside your daycare logo, you should also get the daycare's phone number printed on the back or front. That way, if a child gets lost, any adult who finds them can instantly get in contact with you. Note that one thing you shouldn't print on your t-shirts is individual names; children tend to trust people who know their name, so having their name on a t-shirt can put them at risk if they get lost in public.

T-Shirts to Protect Clothing During Arts and Crafts

Custom-printed t-shirts can also save you from the wrath of angry parents during arts and crafts sessions. Many daycares use aprons to protect children's clothing while painting, using clay and engaging in other messy creative activities. While aprons work a lot of the time, they don't cover the child's whole body and they can easily slip out of place. These days, children's clothes can be very expensive, so most parents won't be happy if their child comes home with a paint stain on their clothing. T-shirts are a far better way to protect children's clothes than aprons because they're fitted to the whole torso and can't come loose. Most brands wash clean with ease, but they're also affordable enough to replace cheaply if they do become stained. Getting them printed with your logo ensures you'll never confuse messy time t-shirts with a child's actual clothing.
