Starting daycare is a big milestone — and making sure every item comes home is half the battle. Our personalized daycare labels are waterproof, dishwasher safe, and built to survive the daily chaos of bottle warmers, diaper bag shuffles, and crowded cubbies. From baby bottle labels and daycare clothing labels to pacifier clips and snack containers, we have every size you need in one place.
Our labels for daycare are made to order in Little Rock, Arkansas and ship in 1–2 days — because we know the first day of daycare has a way of sneaking up on you. Whether you are labeling everything for the first time or restocking for a new school year, our customizable daycare name labels make the job fast and easy.
Parents trust our daycare label stickers because they stay put through repeated dishwasher cycles, bottle sterilization, and laundry — without peeling, fading, or falling off at the worst possible moment. Custom names, fun designs, and sizes for every surface your child’s gear touches every single day.
Daycare Labels: Common Questions
What are daycare labels and why do I need them?
Daycare labels are personalized waterproof stickers used to identify your child’s belongings — bottles, clothing, shoes, lunch boxes, and diapering supplies — so they don’t get mixed up with other children’s items. Most daycare centers require that everything be clearly labeled with the child’s name, and our durable labels for daycare make compliance simple. They stick fast, survive every wash cycle, and keep your baby’s things organized from drop-off to pick-up.
What should I label for daycare?
Label everything that leaves the house — bottles, sippy cups, formula containers, breast milk bags, pacifiers, clothing, socks, shoes, hats, sleep sacks, blankets, diaper bags, wipe containers, and snack boxes. Many infant rooms also require labels on diaper cream and any medication. Our daycare label packs are designed to cover all of these surfaces with the right sizes in one order, so nothing gets missed on that first morning drop-off.
How do I label baby bottles for daycare?
The best way to label bottles for daycare is to apply a waterproof label to the smooth side of the bottle body — not the cap or the nipple area — so caregivers can read the name without removing anything. Our bottle labels are dishwasher safe on the top rack and stick securely to plastic, glass, and stainless steel. If your baby uses silicone bottles, we offer a special label sized to wrap around the plastic nipple ring instead. Check our Baby Bottle Label Guide for exact sizing by bottle brand.
How do I label clothes for daycare?
For labeling clothes for daycare, you have two great options. Our stick-on clothing labels (original Peel ’n Stix®) apply directly to the care tag or tagless imprint inside the garment — no heat required, and removable when needed for hand-me-downs. Our iron-on daycare clothing labels bond permanently into the fabric and are ideal for socks, onesies, and uniforms where a permanent solution makes more sense. Both are machine washable and survive repeated laundering without peeling or fading.
How do I label pacifiers and small items for daycare?
To label pacifiers for daycare, look for our mini-sized round labels designed to fit the flat base of a pacifier clip or the handle of a spoon. Standard labels are too large for these tiny surfaces — our extra small sizes are cut specifically for small daycare accessories like pacifiers, medicine syringes, and snack spoons. They bond securely to smooth plastic and hold through daily dishwashing and sterilization.
Are the labels waterproof and dishwasher safe?
Yes — all of our daycare labels are fully waterproof and dishwasher safe on the top rack. They are also heat resistant enough to withstand bottle warmers and steam sterilizers without curling, peeling, or fading. Our infant labels for daycare are built to the same durable standard as the rest of our line, because we know the infant room puts gear through more cycles per day than any other age group. Made tough, on purpose.
