Preschoolers are in uniforms, which I am a huge fan of. Khakis and polos with school logo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-certain-things-your-lo-cant-wear-to-school#post-2467323 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 06:38:19 +0000 creativemomma15 2467323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They only ask that they wear sneakers, but I think any closed shoes are fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-certain-things-your-lo-cant-wear-to-school#post-2467318 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 06:11:36 +0000 YouGotMe 2467318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No rules so far except to keep in mind clothing needs to be "not difficult" for the teachers who change the diapers all day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-certain-things-your-lo-cant-wear-to-school#post-2467276 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 00:26:53 +0000 sometimesshesings 2467276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO's school prefers families to avoid sending kids to school in clothes with commercialized characters (part of the Reggio philosophy.) But this is just a suggestion, not a rule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-certain-things-your-lo-cant-wear-to-school#post-2466002 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 11:41:28 +0000 erinbaderin 2466002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No rules, but his classroom teachers did once tell us that they hated his high top lace up Cons because they were hard to get on, so we started saving those for weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-certain-things-your-lo-cant-wear-to-school#post-2465998 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 11:39:10 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2465998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No open toed shoes or flip flops for the kids' safety. They play outside every day (or inside in a large play room) where they're able to run freely, and they're a trip hazard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-certain-things-your-lo-cant-wear-to-school#post-2465975 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 11:28:35 +0000 catlady 2465975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's still in the toddler room, which has no rules, but the preschool at our daycare does not allow any characters at all. While I sort of get it, I am sad for my LO because she loves her character clothes so much. I think there may also be a rule against hats inside and open toed shoes as well.</p> <p>They tried to implement a full uniform policy last month though and apparently the parents revolted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-certain-things-your-lo-cant-wear-to-school#post-2465910 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 11:06:13 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2465910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No tie shoes.<br /> That's about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-certain-things-your-lo-cant-wear-to-school#post-2465908 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 11:06:00 +0000 lovehoneybee 2465908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No open toe shoes. They prefer closed-back, too, but they can be just a strap on the back. </p> <p>@mediagirl: I occasionally send him in wearing jeans and I always feel bad, but he's intent on learning how to zip/button. Usually it's pull-on cargo-like pants, or sweat pants, just for the ease when using the toilet. One little kid always comes in wearing jeans with a belt, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-certain-things-your-lo-cant-wear-to-school#post-2465906 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 11:05:18 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2465906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No rules that I know of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-certain-things-your-lo-cant-wear-to-school#post-2465894 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 11:03:03 +0000 mediagirl 2465894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No open-toe shoes. </p> <p>I see kids in belts on jeans with buttons and zippers and just can't imagine what the parents are thinking. So much work for a potty-training child! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-certain-things-your-lo-cant-wear-to-school#post-2465892 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 11:02:20 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2465892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No violent characters! This isn't a problem for us since we don't buy much character clothing, but I think it's a bit overkill.</p> <p>Kids are suppos d to take on/off their own shoes and pants so I kee those pretty easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-certain-things-your-lo-cant-wear-to-school#post-2465538 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 08:52:14 +0000 MrsF 2465538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No open shoes or fancy "dress up" shoes. They try to go outside every day so they need to be able to play in their clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-certain-things-your-lo-cant-wear-to-school#post-2465536 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 08:52:05 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2465536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No open toed shoes because they have mulch on the playground.</p> <p>Dresses are supposed to have bloomers or shorts underneath. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-certain-things-your-lo-cant-wear-to-school#post-2465530 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 08:48:53 +0000 fancyfunction 2465530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They prefer them not to wear fancier shoes - mostly sneakers so they're comfy and can play. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-certain-things-your-lo-cant-wear-to-school#post-2465490 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 08:18:36 +0000 yin 2465490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No rules. I usually send LO in nicer clothes - khaki pants with a simple shirt or button down shirt. I notice lots of leggings and sweats for comfort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-certain-things-your-lo-cant-wear-to-school#post-2465479 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 08:12:39 +0000 Mamaof2 2465479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No crocs - that's the only rule I think they have </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-certain-things-your-lo-cant-wear-to-school#post-2465439 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 07:40:23 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2465439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No rules about what she can wear, but they are strict about what she has to have in her cubby (extra clothes). Her preschool is play based and they are out a lot, so she's only in comfy, practical clothes. The girls her age had a thing about only wanting to wear dresses, so they implemented a Friday dress up day - when they can wear their frilliest dresses. On a normal day, she's usually in a long-sleeved dress with tights.</p> <p>I should add that no matter what they wear, they're outside completely covered up in the same outdoor clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-certain-things-your-lo-cant-wear-to-school#post-2465418 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 07:26:33 +0000 Bao 2465418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is in preschool and they don't really have many rules for what they can't wear. I usually send her in leggings or sweats to keep it easy for the bathroom though, since she struggles with jeans...but lots of kids wear jeans. I don't send shoes that tie, for the same reason...I don't want her teachers to have to tie her shoes along with 17 other kids. So I just try and send her in easy items, but no official rules! </p>
