As temperatures soar and we experience excessive heat across the state, it is critically important to be mindful of the impact the weather can have on our children.
Please take this opportunity to remind parents and staff to provide summer clothing daily and to avoid prolonged exposure to the outdoors. It is important to be especially mindful about hydration, offering water and opportunities for rest often.
Also, the weather does not have to be hot for equipment to heat up and cause burns. Even in mild weather, if the equipment or surfacing is in direct sunlight there is a risk of sustaining a thermal burn injury. Please remind staff to test the temperature of playground equipment, strollers, buggies, slides, swings, etc. prior to children encountering them. A child of any age can be burned by a hot surface; however, children two years old and younger are most at risk because a young child’s skin is more susceptible to burning and because young children have not yet learned to react by removing themselves from the hot surface.
When transporting children, remind parents and staff to check the vehicle prior to exiting to ensure no child is left unattended. As you know, children often fall asleep during transportation. In addition to face-to-name attendance, a thorough sweep to the back of the vehicle is required. In a matter of minutes, excessive heat can be life threatening to children.
Lastly, if a child you were expecting does not arrive to program in the morning, make an immediate call to the parent or transportation department to check on the child's whereabouts. If the child was accidentally left in a vehicle, your outreach may be the alarm that leads to the child's safe recovery.
Thank you for your continued commitment to the wellness of children.
