Summer is here!!!


Yes, the sun came out and it is hot!! Two afternoons in a row, we had to cool off the kids and our playground with a hose!! While summer can be lots of fun, it can be dangerous for little ones if safety precautions are not taken. Some tips to having a safe and fun summer at our center are as follow:

Plenty of sunscreen
Appropriate clothing for sun protection (hats, sunglasses, cotton clothing)
Plenty of water play
Plenty of drinking water available
Play in shaded areas as often as possible (limited direct sun exposure)
Watching for dehydration
Watching for heat exhaustion
Keep toys in a shaded area
Cool off toys/play area with water (if necessary)

Here's to having a great summer!
