Preschool Uniforms: A Good Fit!

“They’re only in preschool! Why do they need to wear uniforms?!” If you’re a new SSH parent, this thought may have crossed your mind. It can certainly be fun dressing preschoolers (or watching what they choose on their own). However, shopping for outfits they’ll agree to wear and then convincing them to wear them on cue can be challenging! School uniforms may have pros and cons, but after years of […]
