UV levels are most intense during the middle part of the day – between 10 am and 3 pm. We ask educators to be mindful of peak UV times and schedule play experiences accordingly. Active, outdoor play is important for health and development so SunSmart doesn’t recommend staying indoors all the time. Outdoor programming should include plenty of shade and use of appropriate hats, clothing and sunscreen. You could also try scheduling certain activities in the mornings or afternoons, when UV Index levels are not as high.
