Heat Happens: Simple Ways to Keep Children Cool

Presenters: Jessica Mauricio Price, MS is CEHN’s Eco-Healthy Child Care® Program Manager and Elisabeth Repp, MHS is CEHN’s Eco-Healthy Child Care® Program Assistant

As temperatures rise, childcare providers play a key role in keeping children safe, comfortable, and ready to learn. Young children are especially vulnerable to heat because their bodies warm up faster and have a harder time cooling down. This 40-minute webinar explores why children are more sensitive to heat and how simple strategies can make outdoor play safer all summer long.

We’ll discuss how to recognize early signs of heat-related illness, create a low-cost portable shade structure, encourage healthy hydration, and choose safer sunscreens for daily use. Participants will also receive ready-to-use resources designed for both childcare providers and families. These include printable fact sheets that teach children about sun and heat safety.

Join us to share ideas and explore practices that help children stay active, safe, and happy outdoors throughout the summer.
