Sunscreen, Water Bottles, and Smiles: Getting Your Child Ready for Summer Fun







Summer is right around the corner, and here at Night Watch Childcare Center, we’re already buzzing with excitement! As temperatures climb and days get longer, it's time to prepare our little ones for a season full of sun, play, and outdoor adventure.

But with great fun comes great responsibility—especially when it comes to keeping our children safe and comfortable. Whether you’re sending your child to daycare, summer camp, or just planning family outings, a little preparation goes a long way.

🧴 Sunscreen is non-negotiable. Make it a habit to apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher before your child leaves home. We reapply here as needed, but an early start helps protect delicate skin right away.

💧 Hydration is key. Please send a labeled water bottle with your child every day. Even on cooler summer mornings, children burn lots of energy outdoors and need consistent water breaks to stay energized and focused.

🧢 Dress for the season. Loose, light-colored clothing and wide-brimmed hats help kids stay cool and reduce sun exposure. And don’t forget closed-toe shoes—they’re a must for active outdoor play.

🏖️ Pack smart. A change of clothes, swimwear (on water play days), and any special items like sunglasses or towels can make a big difference in your child’s comfort and enjoyment.

As we dive into our summer activities—think outdoor science experiments, splash pad play, and beach-themed learning—you can rest easy knowing your child is safe, prepared, and having a blast.



At Night Watch Childcare Center, we make summer safe, exciting, and full of learning. Contact us today to learn more about our seasonal programs or to enroll your child for a summer filled with sunshine and discovery!
