Smart Uniform Ordering for Daycares & Preschools

Smart Uniform Ordering for Daycares & Preschools

Uniforms make your center look professional and make mornings easier for parents—but overordering the wrong sizes ties up cash and storage. Here’s a quick, no-stress approach.

1. Do Simple Enrollment Math

  • Count kids by age/class.
  • Full-time: plan about 3 tops + 2 bottoms per child.
  • Part-time: about 2 tops + 1–2 bottoms.
    Order a bit under that for your first round, then refill based on what actually sells.

2. Keep the Kit Tiny

Pick a small, mix-and-match set:

Fewer options = simpler for parents, cleaner inventory for you.

3. Choose Your Model

  • Stock on-site: You buy in bulk, sell sets to parents.
  • Direct order: Parents order from your Hemworld links.
  • Hybrid: Parents order directly and you keep a small “rescue rack” of core sizes (3T–7) for new students and emergencies.

4. Order Smart Sizes & Plan Reorders

  • Go heavier on core sizes (3T–7).
  • Lighter on edge sizes (2T, 8, 10+).
  • Think in waves: launch order → small refill after 6–8 weeks → mid-year top-up.
