  Sun
Safety in Early Child Care and Education Settings
Fresh air,
sunshine, and exercise are essential to the healthy development
of young children. Children who regularly spend time running,
jumping, and playing outdoors are generally more fit and have a
lower risk of being overweight. Adults should encourage
children to be outside, moving, and safe -- including sun-safe!
The purpose of
this training module is to make teachers and child caregivers aware of
the importance of sun safety, and to help them identify ways to
incorporate sun-safe actions in early child care and education
programs
This module was developed in collaboration with the Sun Safety
Alliance, a nonprofit coalition dedicated to the task of
reducing the incidence of skin cancer in America. Additional
resources can be found at
The Sun Safety Alliance website.
Module available only in
English at this time.
Spanish materials will be developed at a later date.
