Kidcare Aware Academy

18/05/2023

Some sad news...After a long time of engaging with all you lovely people and building an ECD community here on Facebook, it is with a heavy heart that I have to announce the closure of Kidcare Aware Academy. This decision has not been an easy one, but I have come to the conclusion that it is the best course of action for the organization at this time. The current climate has been an unfortunate one to operate in. It is hard to say if this will be a temporary or permanent closure as there is no way of knowing what opportunities may arise in the future to contribute to making the ECD world a better place. I hope a new season for this organization is coming but for now this page will be closed. Thank you for all your support and for every single engagement, comment, like and share. Kidcare Aware Academy would not have been anything without you all!

Lots of love,

Kidcare Aware Academy

The need for good ECD centres is increasing because of the social changes in the labour
market.

Dual-income households are rapidly on the rise, with both parents having to work full-time. In South Africa there is also a high rate of single-parent households. All of this means
that there is a need for affordable, quality childcare services across the country. There is place for you.

With the temperature rising and experiencing heatwave after heatwave it pays to be prepared and to think about protection & prevention to prevent sunburn and heat stroke. Be aware of extreme heat & keep your childcare safe during hot days with these tips.☀️

Very young children are among the most vulnerable during periods of extreme heat. This can be especially true if they are very active during hot weather.

Read on to see what the CDC has to say regarding periods of extreme heat, how to avoid heat-related illness, best practices for water play activities and sun protection. 👇👇👇

HOW TO BEAT THE HEAT😎
When it comes to childcare safety during the Summer months the key is to stay cool. The CDC (Center for Disease Control & Prevention) advises that childcare safety and Summertime play be balanced with ways to keep the body cool to prevent heat-related illness.

STAY HYDRATED
Drink lots of water and avoid the sugary drinks.🥤

KEEP COOL
Air-conditioned, fans and shaded areas are great cooling spaces to help little bodies cool off.⛱️

KEEP IT LIGHT
Have the children wear lightweight, loose-fitting and light-colored clothing.👕

SUN PROTECTION
When it comes to the hot Summer months, sun protection is a must! Here is a great sun safety tool kit for childcare:

👒Have a Hat – Hats provide shade your face, head, ears, and neck.
Wear Sunglasses – Sunglasses protect your eyes from the sun’s rays and keep your eyes healthy.
👣Apply Sunscreen – Put sunscreen on any exposed skin about 15 minutes before going outside to make sure you are totally protected. When it comes to sunscreen, think spray-on, water resistant.
👕Cover Up – Clothes can provide great protection from the sun. Long-sleeved shirts and pants offer the best protection. Darker colored clothing is usually more protective than lighter colors.

WATER PLAY SAFETY💧
Water play is a nice way to cool off on hot days however remember keep your childcare safe during water play by supervising & having to be close enough to reach the children at all times.
