We feel daily outside play is a must. Our children will go outside each day, if only for a few minutes based on weather conditions. Please remember:

• Even if it is too cold to stay outside for more than 15-20 minutes, there is still an advantage to children in the physical release and stimulation of interest they derive from outside play. We sometimes forget that being active outdoors in cold weather keeps one warm.
• Children must have a chance to exercise their growing muscles.
• Children who attend must be physically able to participate in all daily Activities- to include outside time. This is a TPRS minimum standard.
• Our outside play space provides for shade and sun. During sunny days feel free to send sunscreen. If permission to administer is not already on file at enrollment, you will be asked to complete an authorization for us to apply sunscreen. Please label the container with the child’s name.

Because we care about the health and wellbeing of the children in our care, we follow the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Recommendations on Screen Time. We understand that TV and other electronic media can get in the way of exploring, playing, and interacting with others, which encourages learning and healthy physical and social development. Therefore, we will restrict screen time by:

• Children under 2 should have no screen time
• Children age 2 and over should watch less than 30 minutes per week at child care, and less than 2 hours per day total.

• Allowing a maximum of 30 minutes total per week of educational and age appropriate screen time (television, video, and DVD). 
• Allowing no more than 15 minutes of educational computer time per day. 
• Not allowing any screen time during meals and snacks.
• Having zero screen time (TV, video, and computer) for children under the age of two.
