Resource Library News
Dramatic play aids in children’s social and emotional development and
gives them opportunities to practice communication skills. The
Resource Library can help make dramatic play new and engaging for
the children in your care. We have several different costumes for
2-5 year-olds, a supermarket set, a tool set, play food, a dollhouse,
and even soft props for toddlers and two’s. You can also search our
entire library catalog online! A current CCRC membership is required
to check out toys; memberships are only $25 a year. Sign up now at

Cool, Wet Fun!
Try these activities to keep kids cool on a hot summer day.
Water Jump: Hold a garden hose about one foot off the ground and have children line up and try
to jump over the stream of water, one at a time, without getting wet. Repeat, each time raising the
stream of water.
Water Limbo: Hold a garden hose at the children’s shoulder level and have the line of children try
to go under the stream of water limbo style without getting wet. Repeat, each time lowering the
water.
Water Waves: Hold a garden
hose waist high and slowly move
it up and down. Have the children line up and run through the
wiggling water stream one at a
time trying not to get wet.
Water Wiggle: Put a garden hose
on the ground and move it back
and forth to make the water
“wiggle”. Encourage children to
try and run through the wiggling
water without getting their feet
wet.

From the Desk of Jessica Ruggles, Infant/Toddler Consultant:
Well, summertime is here again and it
is the perfect weather for taking the
infants and toddlers outside.
Before taking them out, it is important
to remember to make sure the play
area is clean and free from hazards. A
clean, gently used comforter or blanket
makes a great place for non-mobile
infants to lie while others play.
Besides gross motor play, there are a
variety of things to do outside. Even
the youngest can experience water or
sand. By having a shallow pan of
water and the infant sitting with the
caregiver, she can feel the water on
her hands or feet or the caregiver can
gently release sand onto the hands or feet. Let toddlers paint with water using big paintbrushes
or sponges. Another option for outdoors is taking entire centers outside. What would your
children be able to do if you took all the blocks and cars out? What about dramatic play?
Reading can be done under a shady tree. And of course art is great outside because you can get
really messy.
When it comes to your outdoor experience, try thinking outside the box and see what different
ideas you can come up with to make the outdoor experience a great one.

Inclusion/Exclusion Guidelines for Child Care
When deciding whether to keep your sick child out of child care, the two most important things to
think about are:
1. Does the child’s illness keep him/her from comfortably taking part in activities?
2. Does the sick child need more care than the staff can give without affecting the health and safety
of other children?
If the answer to either of these questions is yes, then the child should not go to child care or school.
If he/she is sent to child care or school, then the caregiver or teacher may not let the child stay.
A 3rd question to ask is:
Could other children get sick from being near your child?
Most common illnesses, like a cold, are not really harmful. Other children can catch illnesses before,
during, or after your child is sick. Making a sick child stay home may not really prevent other children
from getting sick.
Keep in Mind:
The family should ask questions 1 and 2 above and make a decision based on what they see at the
time. Keep in mind that uncertain tummy aches could be the beginning of vomiting and diarrhea (for
which a child should not attend school). Tummy aches can also mean that a child is nervous about
school. (If a child is nervous about school, experts suggest that the child go to school and the family
talk to a doctor or teacher about what is making the child nervous.)
Caregivers and teachers should also ask questions 1 and 2. A common cold is not a reason for exclusion if neither of the first two things on the list is met. The infection can be spread to others but is
not a harmful illness. In fact, it probably helps a child to be exposed to cold germs because it makes
their immune system stronger.
Deciding if a child who is only mildly sick should go to child care or school can be hard. In some
cases the parent may have very little time to watch the child before he or she has to arrive at school
or child care. Parents usually make good decisions but it can be complicated. For example, parents
may lose pay from their jobs if they have to stay home for a sick child. Other parents may have a
hard time getting a promotion if they have a child who is sick a lot. In addition, the child’s illness can
change during the day. Parents make decisions, but the child care and school personnel also have a
say in the matter about whether a child sent to child care or school is allowed to stay there through
the day.

QEI Summer News
Summer is a wonderful time to explore and try new things. This is true for children as well as adults,
so what better time than summer to try new things on your playground? Just because the temperatures are soaring in much of the country doesn’t mean that outdoor play should be avoided,
especially during the cooler morning hours. Here are just a few ideas to spark your imagination:





Take a bed sheet outside and create a fort- and it provides shade at the same time.
Bring the marble maze outside and set up a waterfall.
Messy Art? No problem. Take it outside!
Fill the sensory table with bubbles and use string shapes to create HUGE bubbles. (Recipe
below)
Make mud clay and let it dry in the heat of the sun… best part is that they can paint it outside too!
With all of the new experiences you will be providing, the children will want to be outside every day.
So make sure that shade, water and sunscreen are part of your outside summer routine. By taking
a few precautions, children can enjoy the exciting adventures that you provide all through the hot
days of summer.

Science and Snacks
Let your kids do a little experimenting with food and fun this summer. Popsicles are a great place to start. Does fruit juice freeze as fast as a
yogurt smoothie in a Popsicle mold? How does lemonade taste as a Popsicle
vs. orange juice? What happens if you mix 5 kool-aid flavors together? Many
fruits turn into fun frozen snacks all by themselves. Try putting grapes or
bananas in the freezer for a refreshing healthy treat the kids will love! Frozen
grape pops are a favorite of ours!

Del escritorio de Jessica Ruggles, avizora de infantes, jóvenes y los de dos
años:
Bueno, el verano está aquí otra vez y es
el tiempo perfecto para tomar los bebés
y niños pequeños fuera.
Antes de sacarlos es importante recordar para asegurarse de que el área de
juego está limpia y libre de peligros. Un
edredón o manta con poco uso y limpio
es un gran lugar para un bebé no móvil
para sentarse cuando los otros compañeros juegan.
Además de los juegos que promovieron
habilidades motores gruesos hay una
variedad de cosas que hacer fuera. Incluso a los más pequeños pueden experimentar el agua o la arena. Tome a una bandeja con poca altura de agua y el bebé sentado con el
cuidador puede sentir el agua en sus manos o en los pies o el cuidador puede liberar suavemente
la arena en las manos o los pies. Deje que los niños pintan con agua usando grandes brochas o
esponjas. Otra opción para el aire libre está tomando los centros de actividades enteros al fuera.
¿Cuáles serían sus hijos ser capaz de hacer si se toma todos los bloques y coches a cabo? ¿Qué
pasa con el juego dramático? La lectura puede hacerse bajo sombra de un árbol. Y, por supuesto,
el arte es estupendo al fuera porque se puede volver muy sucia.
Cuando se trata de su experiencia al aire libre trate de pensar fuera de la caja y ver qué ideas diferentes que puede llegar a hacer que la experiencia al aire-libre lo perfecto.

Pautas de inclusión y exclusión para el cuidado infantil
Al decidir si se mantenga a su hijo enfermo de cuidado infantil, son las dos cosas más importantes
en qué pensar:
1. ¿Enfermedad del niño le mantiene cómodamente a participar en las actividades?
2. ¿El niño enfermo necesita más atención que el personal puede dar sin afectar a la salud y la seguridad de otros niños?
Si la respuesta a cualquiera de estas preguntas es Sí, entonces el niño no debe ir a la guardería
o escuela. Si él/ella se envía a la guardería o escuela, entonces el cuidador o maestro puede
no dejar al niño.
Una tercera pregunta es:
¿Podrían otros niños se enferman por estar cerca de su hijo?
La mayoría de las enfermedades comunes, como un resfriado, no son realmente perjudiciales.
Otros niños pueden coger enfermedades, antes, durante, o después de que su hijo está enfermo.
Realizar una estancia de niños enfermos en casa en realidad no puede evitar que otros niños se
enfermen.
Tener en Mente:
La familia debe hacer preguntas 1 y 2 anteriores, y tomar una decisión sobre la base de lo que ven
en el momento. Tenga presente que los dolores de estómago inciertos podrían ser el comienzo de
los vómitos y la diarrea (por la que un niño no debe asistir a la escuela). Dolores de estómago también puede significar que un niño está nervioso acerca de la escuela. (Si un niño está nervioso
acerca de la escuela, los expertos sugieren que el niño vaya a la escuela y de la familia a hablar
con un médico o un maestro sobre lo que está haciendo que el niño nervioso.)
Los cuidadores y los profesores también deben preguntar a las preguntas 1 y 2. Un resfriado común
no es motivo de exclusión, si ninguna de las dos primeras cosas en la lista se cumple. La infección
puede transmitirse a otras personas, pero no es una enfermedad dañina. De hecho, es probable
que ayude al niño a ser expuesta a los gérmenes fríos, ya que hace que su sistema inmune más
fuerte.
Decidir si un niño que es sólo ligeramente enfermo debe ir a la guardería o la escuela puede ser difícil. En algunos casos, el padre puede tener muy poco tiempo para observar al niño antes de que él
o ella tengan que llegar a la escuela o guardería. Los padres suelen hacer buenas decisiones, pero
puede ser complicado. Por ejemplo, los padres pueden perder la
paga de sus puestos de trabajo si tienen que quedarse en casa
para un niño enfermo. Otros padres pueden tener dificultades para conseguir un ascenso si tienen un niño que está enfermo mucho. Además, la enfermedad del niño puede cambiar durante el
día. Los padres de tomar decisiones, pero el personal de cuidado
de niños y de la escuela también tienen algo que decir en el asunto sobre si se permite a un niño enviado a la guardería o/a la escuela para permanecer allí durante el día.

Deja que tus hijos hagan experimentos un poco con la comida y tengan
diversión en este verano. Paletas son un gran lugar para comenzar. ¿Es
posible que los jugos de fruta se congelen tan rápido como un yogur en
un molde de helado? ¿Cómo se comparen el sabor de una paleta del jugo
de naranja contra el sabor de una paleta de la limonada? ¿Qué pasa si
usted mezcla 5 sabores de kool-aid juntos? Muchas frutas se convierten
