Daycare Providers

WA Cover Connection Logo

As a daycare provider, you are expected to keep the children that you care for safe from harm; this includes keeping children safe from harmful UV rays. Research has shown that even one childhood sunburn can increase a person’s risk of developing skin cancer later in life. Taking steps to create a sun safety policy in your daycare and to educate the families that use your daycare about sun safety helps keep the children you care for safe.
