Our commitment to whole-child health includes keeping kids safe from the heat. During times of excessive heat, our team will adjust programming as needed to help keep kids cool, especially at our outdoor Playground Clubs.
We add more water breaks and time in the shade and pay close attention for signs of heat-related illness.
During heat waves, we ask our families to:
- Dress children in light, breathable clothing.
- Send a labeled water bottle each day. We’ll ensure it stays full and kids stay hydrated.
- Be reachable for pickup in case of heat-related illness. If a staff member calls to say your child isn’t feeling well, please plan to pick up promptly.
Our staff are watching closely and will always call you directly if we have any concern about your child’s well-being.
