That's me. I don't like my house to get all dirty and keep cleaning it, but I let them play outside in the wet grass, with mud, sand, etc. Mainly during fall/winter kids pants get all muddy and that is the only time I change them (when they feel wet) if there is only dried sand I just dust them and clean up shoes before getting in the house.
Everybody uses large bibs for meal times and for messy sensory play and painting they use long sleeved smocks.
Usually kids get home with some dirt stains, even my crawling baby pants are all stained from the knees even after washing, but I don't even bother to use the stain remover since I know she will get them all stained again and again. No complains so far from families since they have acknowledged in the contract that this would happen. I think if I ever do, I would politely tell them that I cannot accommodate their request due to the nature of my program and it would be their decision whether to stay with me or look for something that better suits them. The only way to avoid kids getting stained here would be to have them restrained during outdoor time and I won't change their clothes unless they are wet or uncomfortable.
