It could just mean that they used too much bleach in a homemade bleach solution but not that it was direct contact with pure bleach- they are supposed to make it fresh everyday because the water eventually dilutes the bleach. One of my ECE instructors who is also the director of the college's preschool program said that when she did FCC one time she put too much bleach in her solution and one of her DCKs got bleach stains on their sleeves. One of my other ECE teachers said that if you can smell the bleach you used too much.

In some states it is mandatory to use a bleach solution or something with bleach due to sanitation standards. Sometimes using sanitary wipes with bleach can also stain clothes.

A possible fix- get a sharpie or permanent marker (fabric markers may work too) that matches the color of the shirt (black has the best results) and try to fill in the bleach stain with the sharpie.
