School's out, Hoosiers!

Summer is the perfect time to explore local playgrounds. Just remember a few quick tips to help keep kids safe while they play.

• Check that equipment isn’t too hot before little hands and feet climb on.
• Look for sturdy, well-maintained equipment and soft landing surfaces.
• Keep an eye on kids as they climb, slide, and swing.
• Make sure shoes are secure and laces tied to prevent trips and falls.
• Bring water and take shade breaks to avoid overheating.

Let’s make this a fun, safe summer!
