Sun Safety

 

We are proud to be a SunSmart education and care service:

 As a part of our Sun Safe Policy children are encouraged to wear:

  • A broad brimmed or legionnaires hat. 
  • Loose fitting shirts and dresses with sleeves and collars or covered neckline. Longer style skirts, shorts & trousers and sunglasses.

Please note: The Cancer Council advises that caps/visors, midriff, crop or singlet tops, do not provide enough sun protection and therefore are not recommended.

The Preschool encourages parents to sunscreen their child at home 20 mins prior to the start of their child’s preschool day. The Preschool also provides a water-resistant, broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen for parents to apply on arrival.

'Sammy the bear' looks after our sunscreen and is located under the trees near the preschool entrance.   

Please visit ‘Sammy’ and apply sunscreen to your child before departing.

Educators will re-apply sunscreen when required.

NB. Children with allergies and/or special sunscreen requirements will be asked to supply their own sunscreen during the enrolment process.

In the first and fourth term we implement a sun safe routine ensuring limited outdoor play between 11.00am and 3.00pm.

Our Sun Protection Policy - 2.4.5 is available for viewing at the service upon request.
