Children should wear clothes that they can manage themselves. Please ensure that everything is clearly named.
Summer
- Shorts and t-shirts
- Loose dresses with small sleeves etc. NO strappy or backless dresses, as they do not provide adequate protection from the sun.
Winter
- Track pants, leggings (with NO feet), skivvies and jumpers/polar fleeces that are easily washed.
- Layers of clothing that can be easily added or removed as the temperature inside and out can vary significantly.
- Singlets are your childs best friend in winter, adding significant warmth without bulk.
Clothes to avoid
Tight buttons, belts, braces, overalls and tights/stockings are often very difficult to manage. If you dress your child in these please ensure they can manage them for toiletting etc.
Shoes
Sensible footwear that fits properly is important for safety and foot development. Please don't send your children in thongs, hi-top boots or slides.
Hats
At the begining of the year each child is given their own special St Stephens Pre-school hat. This hat stays at the preschool and will be washed regularly by the staff. At the end of the year the hats go home to stay. Appropriate sunhats are required all year round. We have a NO HAT NO PLAY policy.
Sunscreen
All children should have sunscreen on when they arrive in the morning. Sunscreen is available on the sign in desk if required.
