Getting ready for preschool days
A few gentle tips for the first big drop-off – and how to make sure the wardrobe is ready. Read full guide here.
1. Layers are your friend
Preschools tend to be warm inside and unpredictable outside. The easiest approach is a soft base layer, a cosy knit mid-layer and something easy to pull off and on. Avoid anything with complicated closures – little hands will have to learn to manage on their own (it is appreciated by preschool staff too).
2. Get two of the ones they love most
Preschool days go through clothes at a rate that surprises most parents. Mud, paint, lunch – sometimes all before 10 o’ clock. If your child has a favourite piece, get a second one. It means less laundry stress, and there is always something the child feels good in.
3. Soft materials matter
Choose fabrics that feel good from morning to afternoon play. Organic cotton and certified wool feel soft and comfortable to wear, whether the day is spent reading indoors or playing outside.
4. Buy for the long run
Preschool is just the beginning. Garments should grow with the child, or get passed on when the time comes. Newbie is designed with exactly that in mind: timeless enough to wear for years, well-made enough to survive them. Less buying, more wearing.
