Best sun protection is ’shade’

Whether natural shade or built shade, the best in sun protection is protection from harsh uv rays of the sun.  Especially when it comes to toddlers and those children in day care programs.  These little ones in their innocence get burnt from the harsh sun, and the most vulnerable victims of all.  Another issue with day care centers is that Care Givers are unable to apply sunscreen, thus leaving their little arms and legs exposed.  It is our responsibilty as the adults in our communities to do our best to provide the shade needed in playgrounds.  Fortunately, the trend of sun protection is here, and there is more and more shade provision found today across the country. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/opinion/sfl-sunscreen18forumnbsep18,0,1614758.story
