Fun in the Sun:  Keep Your Children Safe

Warm sunny days are finally here. With the warm weather, children are excited to get outside and play. Child Care Providers need to remember that the sun’s rays are the strongest between 10:00am and 4:00pm and young children should be kept out of the sun during these hours. Coad4kids has resources available to help providers with outdoor safety questions and concerns. Call coad4kids at 1-800-577-2276 or locally at 740-354-6527 to learn more about how to keep the children in your care safe this summer.

The Kind of Care a Child Receives

The kind of care a child receives will make a difference in his life. Choosing the right program and caregiver is an important decision for a parent. If you are looking for child care, take time to visit some programs before you decide on the one that is right for your child. Observe the caregiver with the children, ask lots of questions, and get references from parents with children in the program. For more information, please contact coad4kids locally at 740-354-6527, toll free at 800-577-2276, or online at www.coad4kids.org. coad4kids is a service of COAD – a coalition of 17 Community Action Agencies serving Appalachian Ohio.
