Guidelines for Parents - Clothing Policy

At Clifden Community Playschool we ask that children be dressed in a manner that will allow them to play comfortably and safely. Our play sessions may include climbing or sliding on our play equipment, dancing or jumping to music or riding bikes and trikes in our outside play area. 

Upon arrival to the playschool children may hang their coats on the pegs provided. If we go outside to play, a staff member will ensure the coats are bought through for the children to wear outside. 

We ask that spare clothes, including underwear, are brought in for each child. Please place the spare clothing in a bag to be hung in the toilet area of the playschool. Should your child require a change of clothes during the play session a staff member will assist them and will bag up any wet/soiled clothing to you to take home.

General clothing suggestions

• No flip flops please. Open toed sandals/shoes are not permitted unless worn with socks. 
• No long dresses/long skirts that will impede jumping/dancing/climbing/bike riding. 
• Please label your children's jumpers/cardigans and coats with their names. 
• Please dress your child in comfortable and practical clothing and footwear suitable for playing. 
• Use layers to ensure your child is warm. A jumper or cardigan can always be removed if they get too hot. 
• Any sunhats may be handed to a staff member for use during outside play sessions. These should be labelled with your child's name.
• No sunglasses, scarves, necklaces or costume jewellery. 
• Please apply suncream to your child before arrival at the playschool if the weather requires it.
