Children and Car Safety: Leaving infants or children unattended in a parked car can have disastrous
consequences, as the temperature inside a vehicle can rise quickly, even with a cracked window. Before
leaving a vehicle, it is crucial to double-check that everyone has exited and to check the backseat for any
children who may have fallen asleep. To avoid forgetting a child in the car, caregivers can place a stuffed
animal in the front seat as a reminder and best practice suggestion. Providers are reminded that you are
responsible for the care and supervision of children during transportation regardless of the vehicle type (car or van). It is recommended that providers create, educate, and enforce policies and practices to ensure the safe transportation of children in care.
Heat Precautions in Child Care: Health and age play a significant role in how people react to extreme heat.
Individuals at most significant risk for heat-related illness include infants and children up to four (4) years of
age. By knowing how to prepare for a heat wave, and what to do when one occurs, you can avoid the biggest health dangers, such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Before sending children out to play, adequate supervision is required and staff need to know how to protect them against heat-related illness. Providers must meet the requirements of the applicable HSC, Child Day Care Act, Sections 1596.70 et seq., and California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12. Have a safe, healthy, and enjoyable summer! |
