How Do I Dress My Child for Outdoor Preschool?

  • Layering allows your child to stay comfortable as temperatures and activity levels change throughout the day. A good layering system includes:

    • Base Layer: Moisture-wicking fabric to keep sweat off the skin.

    • Middle Layer: Insulating fleece or wool for warmth.

    • Outer Layer: Waterproof and windproof gear to protect against the elements.

  • Proper footwear is essential for safety and comfort:

    • Rainy/Cold Weather: Waterproof, insulated boots.

    • Warmer Weather: Sturdy, closed-toe shoes.

    • Socks: Wool or thick synthetic socks to keep feet dry and warm.

  • Depending on the weather, these items are a must:

    • Warm hats for cold days or sun hats for sunny days.

    • Waterproof gloves or mittens for wet and cold conditions.

    • Sunscreen for UV protection, even on cloudy days.
