Seasonal Reminders
As the weather continues to get colder, here are some reminders:
With the time change on November 1, check the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and test each of them to ensure they work.
Ensure outdoor lighting is functional and sufficient — families and children may be walking to and from your facility in the dark this time of year.
Even in cold weather, it is important for children to play outside! Use caution and shorten outdoor time if the temperature or wind chill is below 15 degrees Fahrenheit, and avoid outdoor play below 0 degrees Fahrenheit. Otherwise, ensure children are dressed warmly and plan safe activities. Learn more about outdoor winter play from Child Care Aware here.
