What to Bring
To ensure your child's comfort and safety, we kindly request parents to provide the following items:
- Nutritious meals and snacks: Parents should pack meals and snacks for their children to be consumed during their time at Explore & Learn. Please include a variety of nutritious options to meet your child's dietary needs and preferences. In addition to the food provided by parents, we offer cooking experiences throughout the week.
- Drink bottles: Parents are kindly requested to provide drink bottles for their children, filled with water or age-appropriate beverages, to ensure they stay hydrated throughout the day.
- Nappies and wipes: For children who are not yet toilet-trained, please provide an adequate supply of nappies and wipes to ensure their comfort and cleanliness.
- Change of clothes: Accidents can happen during playtime or while eating, so please pack a spare set of clothes in case your child needs a change.
- Sun-safe hat: Please pack a sun-safe hat for your child to wear during outdoor playtime. A wide-brimmed hat or one with a legionnaire style that covers the neck and face provides excellent sun protection.
- Sun-protective clothing: It is important to dress your child in loose-fitting, lightweight, and light-coloured clothing that covers their arms and legs. Fabrics with a high ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) are ideal for blocking harmful UV rays.
- Sunscreen: Before dropping off your child, please apply sunscreen with a broad-spectrum SPF of at least 30 to exposed areas of their skin.

A Safe & Sun Smart Environment
By working together, we can create a safe and sun-smart environment for your child to explore and learn. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
We look forward to providing a positive and sun-safe experience for your child! While parents are responsible for providing some items, Explore & Learn ensures a safe and sun-smart environment for children with the following measures:
- Outdoor play guidelines: Miss Deb, who is trained to supervise outdoor play and enforce sun-safe practices, follows the outdoor play guidelines. We limit outdoor time during peak sun hours, provide shaded areas, and encourage children to seek shade when necessary.
- Sunscreen and insect spray application: With parental consent, Miss Deb can assist in reapplying sunscreen and insect spray if needed throughout the day to ensure your child's continued protection from the sun and insects.
- Educational activities: We sensitively educate children about the importance of sun safety through age-appropriate activities and discussions, promoting awareness and healthy habits
