Calgary winters arrive fast — and a little prep keeps drop-offs smooth and kids happily playing outside all season. Here’s our quick cold-weather cheat sheet for daycare families.
- Layer, don’t bulk
- Label everything — mitts and boots wander
- Outdoor play still happens; we keep it short and warm
The simple layering rule
A base layer, a warm middle layer, and a waterproof outer layer. Mitts keep little hands warmer than gloves, and a neck warmer is safer and cozier than a scarf.
Label everything
A name on each mitt, boot and toque saves everyone time at pickup.
Your winter-bag checklist
Snow pants, warm coat, toque, neck warmer, two pairs of mitts, indoor shoes, and a spare pair of socks.
