How To Prepare A Child With Allergies For Daycare

Sending a child with allergies off to daycare can be a nerve-wracking experience for parents. Ensuring their safety and well-being is crucial in such situations. Allergic reactions can range from mild discomfort to life-threatening emergencies, emphasizing the need for thorough preparation. In this blog, we'll explore essential tips and tools to help parents on this journey and prepare their children for daycare. With a particular focus on InchBug's innovative labeling solutions, designed to make this process easier and safer, simple ways to communicate effectively, manage allergies and smoothly transition into the daycare environment.


Parents of allergic children face unique challenges when entrusting their little ones to daycare. Unlike at home, where control over the environment is high, daycare settings introduce new variables and potential allergens. Communicating the severity of allergies and ensuring proper identification of allergens become crucial tasks for parents and caregivers alike. Additionally, understanding the complexities of daycare policies and procedures regarding allergy management adds another layer to the equation. Understanding these challenges is the first step in effectively preparing a child with allergies for daycare.


  • Allergy Alert 

  • InchBug offers a range of allergy alert products designed to effectively communicate a child's allergies to caregivers and staff. From Allergy Alert Labels to Rectangle and Circle Bag Tags, these bold and durable labels serve as visual reminders for others to take necessary precautions. Their high-quality materials ensure longevity, even through regular use and washing. With customizable options available, parents can tailor the labels to suit their child's specific needs, ensuring clear and concise communication of allergies in any daycare setting.


  • Orbit Labels® 

  • Orbit Labels provides a convenient solution for labeling bottles and cups without the mess of adhesives or fading ink. Their durability and reusability make them ideal for daycare environments where items may undergo frequent washing and handling. With Orbit Labels, parents can easily personalize their child's belongings, ensuring they come back home safely. The versatility of Orbit Labels extends beyond daycare, making them a valuable investment for parents seeking durable labeling solutions for various childcare settings.


  • Date Stickies™

  • Keeping track of dates for formula, snacks and other perishables can be challenging for busy parents. Date Stickies™ offers a simple yet effective solution for labeling items with dates. Easy to apply and remove, these stickies help parents ensure the freshness and safety of their child's food and drinks. By including Date Stickies™ in their routine, parents can efficiently manage their childcare responsibilities and minimize the risk of feeding their child expired or spoiled items.


  • Photo Labels 

  • In situations where a child cannot yet read, Photo Labels provide an innovative way to identify their belongings. Parents can upload a favorite snapshot of their child, making it easy for daycare providers to recognize their items quickly. These labels also serve as a fun way to personalize belongings and add a touch of familiarity for the child. By using Photo Labels in their labeling strategy, parents can enhance their child's sense of identity and belonging in the daycare environment.

Each Bag Tag features personalization on one side, with space for up to 3 lines of text, ensuring clear identification. On the reverse side, a fun design adds a touch of personality.


    For smaller items like backpacks and lunchboxes, the Kid Circle Bag Tags are ideal. These tags are equally durable and ready to accompany your child on all their adventures. With personalization options available on one side and a matching design on the reverse, these Bag Tags make it easy to identify your child's belongings in daycare settings.
