Promotional products for preschools and daycares
A preschool or daycare buys merchandise that does double duty: it markets the center to parents in the parking lot and shows up on the kid for picture day. Add staff apparel, graduation-day takeaways, and parent-handout items, and you have a steady-volume account that reorders every fall and spring.
What sells
Kids tees and hoodies for graduation day, picture day, and field-trip uniformity. Bella+Canvas 3001Y youth, Rabbit Skins 3301T toddler, Augusta youth performance for any active program. Bright colors so kids are visible on field trips.
Parent-facing items: car magnets, decals, custom water bottles for parents to use at pickup. The car magnet is the highest-ROI piece - a parent driving around with the school logo all year is free advertising.
Staff apparel: polo shirts for teachers, custom aprons for the kitchen staff, fleece quarter-zips for outdoor recess in fall.
Graduation-day takeaways: custom printed kids tassels, gift bags with a journal and crayons, custom photo frames for the cap-and-gown picture.
Safety notes that matter
Anything that touches a kid under 12 is regulated under CPSIA. Drinkware needs to be lead-and-phthalate-free; t-shirts need to meet flammability standards. Stick to suppliers who certify CPSIA compliance for the youth items - most major decoration suppliers do, but check before you commit on a quote.
How to set the account up
The director is the approver; the assistant director or office manager places orders. Multi-location franchises (KinderCare, Primrose, Goddard) need a center-level portal so each location can order their own quantities while a regional or corporate buyer sees the rollup. Net-30 is standard for the bigger groups; single-center accounts pay card-on-file.
