Daycare, Preschool & Summer Camp Shirts — Bright, Safe & Easy to Spot
On a field trip, a camp shirt is a safety tool. It needs to be bright, visible from across a parking lot, and printed with something soft enough that a four-year-old will not fight you about wearing it. We print for daycares, preschools and summer camps across Southern California from our Garden Grove shop.
Camp and daycare shirts have real constraints. Bright safety colors matter more than brand colors for field trips. Prints should be soft-hand so toddlers are comfortable. And sizes have to run from toddler 2T to adult XL because staff need matching shirts too. We handle all of that in one order — and schools, preschools and staff get our 10% community discount.
What We Print for Daycares, Preschools & Summer Camps
Screen printing, embroidery, DTF and DTG — all in-house in Garden Grove.
One design per session, dated, in a high-visibility color.
2T through youth XL alongside adult staff sizes.
Different color so staff are instantly identifiable.
Embroidered, for parent-facing meetings and tours.
Bright colors with your center name and phone number.
Printed bags for supplies and take-home projects.
Which Method Fits Your Order
We recommend the method that fits the job — not the one that is easiest for us.
Best value for full-session orders at 24+ pieces. Ask for soft-hand plastisol so the print is comfortable for small kids.
Small staff orders or single sessions with full-color art — no screen setup charges.
Director and admin polos, staff hats and jackets.
Small photo-real runs and one-off pieces.

No job too small. No job too big.
We print for brands that sell to Macy's, Ross, TJ Maxx, Fashion Nova and PacSun — and for the schools, teams and studios down the street. There is no order minimum. For screen printing we suggest 24 pieces or more because the per-piece price drops, but it is a suggestion, never a requirement.
Turnaround
Standard production is 5-7 business days after artwork approval. Rush service is available in 1-3 days. Camp starting soon? Call (714) 766-4601 and we will work backward from your first day.
