Uniforms
Uniform
Uniform at Apex Pre-School is not compulsory. However, it is available for your convenience. In the foyer there is a rack of uniforms that can be tried on and come in a range of sizes and colours. Included are t-shirts, long sleeved tops, crew neck jumpers, hoodies and hats.
Clothing
Educators will do their best to protect the children’s clothes. Children will wear smocks when they paint, play with clay, water and other messy activities. However, it is not possible for children to stay clean at all times, so it is sensible for them to wear clothes that are effortlessly washed. Where possible, please label clothing, including footwear, for easy identification in case they get separated from their owner. Starting Pre-School can be a stressful time for children and accidents can happen. It is a good idea to send a change of clothing in their bag/backpack (we do have spare clothes if needed).
Sun Protection
At Apex Pre-School, we enforce a ‘no hat, no outside play’ policy from September to April and when the UV index is above three. Please provide your child with a clearly named broad-brimmed hat and sunscreen (roll on is preferable), which should be applied before arrival and not shared with other children due to allergies and reactions. We do not supply sunscreen. In hot weather, outside curriculum starts early, before the hot part of the day. This means applying sunscreen to your child before they arrive to save time.
