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.
