☀️ It’s National Sunscreen Day! Little ones love the sunshine, so let’s keep them protected while they play.

Building simple habits like applying sunscreen helps shield their skin from harmful UV rays and keeps outdoor fun safe all day long.

✨ Pro tip: Use the “two-finger rule” – squeeze sunscreen along your index and middle finger for the right amount, apply 15 minutes before heading outside, and reapply every 2 hours or after water play and sweating.

☀️ Summer is coming in HOT!​

In San Bernardino County, temperatures can rise quickly during the summer months, making it especially important to protect young children from heat and sun exposure. Their bodies warm up faster than adults, so simple steps like applying sunscreen, staying hydrated, taking shade breaks and using sun protection can help keep outdoor play safe and enjoyable.​

Pro tip: Stay in the shade whenever possible and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. to help protect little ones.​

¡El verano llega ARDIENDO! ☀️🔥​

En el condado de San Bernardino, las temperaturas pueden subir rápidamente durante los meses de verano, por lo que es especialmente importante proteger a los niños pequeños del calor y la exposición al sol. Sus cuerpos se calientan más rápido que los de los adultos, así que medidas simples como aplicar protector solar, mantenerse hidratados, tomar descansos a la sombra y usar protección solar pueden ayudar a que el juego al aire libre sea seguro y divertido.​

Consejo: Permanezcan en la sombra siempre que sea posible y limiten la exposición directa al sol entre las 10 a.m. y las 4 p.m. para ayudar a proteger a los pequeños.​
