Spring Playtime Safety:

• The basic rule of playground safety: watch the children at all times, particularly near swings.
• Some playgrounds are on school grounds and should be avoided if the school children are outside playing.
• Whenever you go out in warm weather, remember to bring along drinks.
• It is important to apply sunscreen, even if it is hazy.
• Safety around water is particularly important. A child can drown in just a few inches of water. Whenever you are near water you must never leave a child alone – if the phone rings, take them with you or let it ring! Always stay within arm's reach when the children are in water.
