What should my child wear to daycare in cold weather?

For a cold daycare day, use warm layers that staff can remove indoors and restore easily before outdoor play.

Quick answer

Cold daycare starting point

Wear

  • Comfortable base layer
  • Warm mid-layer

Pack

  • Dry spare socks
  • Spare gloves if useful

Watch

  • Wind chill
  • Wet clothing
Why this starting point

Use a comfortable base, warm mid-layer and weather-appropriate outer layer, with a hat and gloves when conditions call for them. Keep dry spare socks and clothing at daycare so wet or sweaty layers can be changed.

What can change the answer?

  • Removable layers help when indoor rooms are much warmer than the playground.
  • Wind can make a cold morning feel markedly colder.
  • Follow your daycare’s own rules for outdoor clothing and spare items.
