Bear Grips Pro ShopsCustom Daycare and Preschool Shirts for Staff and Field Trip Days
- Matching field trip shirts make it easy to spot every kid in a group from across a park or museum.
- Staff shirts and kid shirts can share one logo, scaled differently for each audience.
- No bulk minimum. A daycare with 12 kids orders 12 shirts, not a case of 50.
- The Youth Airlume Cotton Athletic Tee starts at $19.88 VIP base, ideal for a full classroom order.
Why Matching Shirts Matter for Daycares and Preschools
- Visibility on outings. A bright, consistent color makes it fast to do a headcount at a park, zoo, or museum.
- Parent confidence. Matching shirts signal an organized, professional program on photo day and pickup.
- Staff identification. A distinct staff shirt color or design helps parents and other visitors find a staff member quickly.
- Enrollment marketing. Kids wearing the center's shirt around town is quiet, constant advertising for the daycare.

Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.Ordering Without a Bulk Minimum
Daycare enrollment shifts constantly. A center that opens the shop link once per semester avoids the classic problem of a 50-shirt case with the wrong size mix. Parents of newly enrolled kids order their child's shirt the same week they start. Staff turnover works the same way: a new hire orders their own shirt in their own size instead of waiting for the next bulk print run.
Design Tips for Daycare and Preschool Shirts
- Bright, single color for kid shirts. Makes headcounts easier and reads as fun rather than corporate.
- Center name plus a simple icon. A sun, animal, or shape kids recognize works better than a text-only logo for the youngest kids.
- Staff shirts in a calmer, single-color left chest logo. Keeps staff looking professional next to the brighter kid shirts.
- Include the center's phone number on the back of the kid shirt for field trips. A practical safety touch some directors add for larger outings.

Start FreeFrequently Asked Questions
Do you offer a minimum-order discount for a whole daycare classroom?
There is no minimum order requirement at all. Base pricing is the same whether one shirt or fifty ship, so a classroom of any size orders exactly what it needs.
Can staff and kids wear different colors?
Yes. Most daycares run one color for kid field trip shirts and a separate color or product for staff so the two groups are easy to tell apart at a glance.
How fast can a shirt arrive before a scheduled field trip?
About a week from order to door. Plan the order roughly 10 days ahead of the trip date to leave room for sizing or reorders.
What is the cheapest option for a full classroom order?
The Youth Airlume Cotton Athletic Tee at $19.88 VIP base per shirt is the lowest-cost option that still covers the full youth size range.
