Gifts for starting kindergarten

A gift for starting daycare: a piece of home

Starting daycare brings lots of firsts: the first goodbye in the morning, new faces, new routines. Small, familiar things can make this transition easier. A cap in the same look as mom or dad is such a companion – it stands for closeness, especially when you're starting to go separate ways during the day. It's practical too: while playing in the daycare yard, the cap protects from the sun. And when mom or dad wear the same cap at pick-up, the reunion is twice as sweet.

Caps in summer, beanies in winter

Choose from snapback, trucker, sports, performance and dad hat caps. If daycare starts in autumn or winter, the beanies set of 2 is a lovely alternative. For the kid alone you'll find all sizes in our kids caps and kids beanies & hats.

A gift idea for grandparents and godparents

Grandma, grandpa or the godparents are looking for a gift for starting daycare? A matching set includes the parents – and it's something the family can wear together on weekends, on vacation and on outings. If there are siblings, our sets of 3 are a great fit.

Looking for more ideas for kids aged 1 to 3 – from books to days out together? You’ll find them in our guide Gift ideas for toddlers.

Frequently asked questions

What size does my daycare kid need?

KIDS M fits toddlers from approx. 1–2 years, KIDS L fits kids from approx. 2 years. If in doubt, measure the head circumference and check our size chart.

Should I label the cap for daycare?

That's a good idea if there are several similar caps in the group – for example with a small name label on the inside.

How do I clean the caps?

Please hand wash only with lukewarm water, never in the washing machine, and let them air dry.
