Kizen Lab makes educator clothing for childcare and early learning centres in Bandung, Indonesia: woven tunics, shirts and dresses cut and sewn to your centre’s own design, on a full-service (FOB) basis from 500 pieces per style. Your colours, your embroidery, applied in production. Sampling takes 1 to 2 weeks and bulk delivery 6 to 12 weeks, on the same production site as our parent company World KNK, a woven specialist producing since 2000 with 200,000 pieces of monthly capacity.
Dressed for paint, lunch and carpet time
Educator clothing takes some of the hardest washing of any profession: paint on Monday, morning tea on Tuesday, outdoor play all week, and a commercial wash cycle after every shift. Catalogue suppliers sell stock pieces that look the same on every centre down the street. The Kizen programme makes the wardrobe to your centre’s own design instead: hardwearing woven tunics cut for movement, shirts in your centre colours, embroidery applied in production so it survives the spin cycle, and grading that covers every educator from the smallest size to the largest. From 500 pieces per style, a single centre can dress its whole team properly, and a small group of centres can standardise across them all.
Childcare teams also change constantly, which is why patterns matter more here than almost anywhere. Patterns are cut digitally on Lectra systems and stored with your programme, so every new educator’s uniform comes off the same files and matches the team exactly.
What we make for early learning teams
Educator tunics
Hardwearing woven tunics cut for floor-level work, pockets where they are useful, in your centre’s colours.
Easy-fit shirts & blouses
Breathable woven shirts that hold their colour through daily hot washing and still read professional at pickup time.
Room leader & director wear
Quieter tailored pieces for the senior team, cut from the same cloth standards as the educator wardrobe.
Kitchen & support staff
Woven work shirts for the cooks and support crew who keep the centre running behind the scenes.
Multi-centre groups
One programme across every room and site: same patterns, same colours, same standard everywhere.
New-educator top-ups
Every new starter handled from patterns on file, matching the existing team exactly.
Woven first
Our core work is woven clothing: tunics, shirts, blouses, dresses, trousers, vests and light jackets that hold their shape through a working week of washing, which in early learning is the hardest week in clothing. Kizen Lab also makes garments in non-woven fabrics when a programme calls for them. Either way, everything is made to your design at factory direct pricing, quoted ex-factory so your landed cost is clear from the first quote.
Why centres order from Bandung
Factory-direct pricing without a sourcing middleman, English-speaking programme management, and documentation handled from our side. Group customers include a Hawaii-based procurement house. Samples travel by air courier to wherever your centre is, and bulk ships from Bandung with your freight forwarder or ours moving the cartons.
How ordering works
Send your designs, reference garments or the centre’s brand colours, along with your team size and size breakdown. We quote the programme, put fabric options on the table, and samples are couriered to you within 1 to 2 weeks. Approve the fit on real educators, then bulk production takes 6 to 12 weeks depending on fabric. Order a small buffer for new starters: patterns on file turn every top-up into a matching re-order.
Childcare uniform FAQs
What is the minimum order?
500 pieces per style on a full-service (FOB) basis, mixed across your size run. A single centre or a small group fits comfortably inside it.
Can you match our centre’s colours?
Yes. Cloth is dyed to your palette, embroidery is applied in production, and samples are approved before bulk runs.
Will the tunics survive constant washing?
That is what they are built for. Woven cloth is selected for industrial laundering, and the approval samples are meant to be washed hard before you commit to bulk.
We hire new educators all year. How do top-ups work?
Your patterns stay on file with the factory. Every top-up order matches the team’s existing wardrobe exactly, without paying for development again.
How fast can samples reach us?
Samples are air couriered from Bandung and arrive within 1 to 2 weeks of specification, ready to be worn and washed before you approve bulk.
We need thousands of pieces per style. Is this the right place?
For programmes at 1,000+ pieces per style, our parent company World KNK produces them at worldknk.com in the same factory group.
