SunSmart, Hats & Sunscreen

Q: SunSmart, Hats & Sunscreen

Is the Kinder SunSmart? Yes, Gray Court Pre-School is a SunSmart kinder and our Sun Protection policy was written in consultation with Cancer Council Victoria's SunSmart Program. Does my child need to bring a hat? All children must bring a hat for outside play in Term 1 and Term 4 as per our SunSmart policy. Children in 3-year-old kinder will bring and take their hats home each day. Children in 4-year-old kinder will keep their hats in their named tubs at the Kinder. Children without a hat must play in the shade. Do I need to apply sunscreen to my child before they come to kinder, or will my child's teacher apply sunscreen at kinder? We ask that children come to kinder with sunscreen already applied. As children in our 4-year-old program will be at kinder for longer than 4 hours on some days, teachers will reapply sunscreen. Gray Court Pre-school currently uses the Cancer Council brand of sunscreen. If you have a brand of sunscreen that you would prefer to be used on your child, please provide the teachers with a bottle, clearly labelled with your child’s name.
