Australian summers are full of fun - beach days, backyard play, park visits and long afternoons outdoors. As the warmer months approach, sun safety becomes an important part of everyday life, especially for young children whose skin needs extra care.
At Kids Academy Early Learning, we know families are busy, and simple, practical support can make all the difference. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our Summer Sun Safety Pack, designed to help make sun protection easier as we head into the Christmas holidays and summer season.
What’s Inside the Kids Academy Summer Sun Safety Pack?
To support families during the warmer months, each child will receive:
- SPF 50+ sunscreen bottles with handy carabiners - Easy to clip onto backpacks, nappy bags or prams, perfect for days out and holiday adventures.
- A fun, summer-themed book for children - A great way to introduce sun safety in a relaxed, age-appropriate way through reading and conversation.
- Our “Sun Safety Starts With Me” flyer - A simple, helpful guide that reinforces the sun-safe messages children are learning at Kids Academy.
These packs will arrive just in time for the Christmas and summer holidays, so families can feel prepared as routines change and outdoor time increases.
Why Sun Safety Is So Important in Summer
Australia’s UV levels are among the highest in the world, and young children’s skin is particularly sensitive to sun exposure. Creating consistent sun-safe habits early helps protect children now and encourages healthy routines they’ll carry with them as they grow.
Simple Sun Safety Tips for Families
Here are a few easy ways to stay sun-safe during busy summer days:
Keep sunscreen close
Applying sunscreen before leaving the house, and topping up throughout the day, is much easier when it’s clipped onto your bag.
Make hats part of the routine
Broad-brim or legionnaire hats provide the best protection. Keeping a spare hat in the car can be a lifesaver.
Dress for sun protection
Light, breathable clothing that covers shoulders and legs helps protect skin while keeping children cool.
Choose shade where possible
Plan outdoor activities earlier in the morning or later in the afternoon, and look for shaded play areas.
Talk about sun safety
Reading books and chatting about why we wear hats and sunscreen helps children understand, and cooperate.
Supporting Sun Safety at Kids Academy
At Kids Academy Early Learning, sun safety is part of everyday practice. Our educators support sunscreen application, encourage hat-wearing, and plan outdoor play thoughtfully to keep children safe and comfortable during the warmer months.
By working together with families, we help children enjoy summer, safely, happily and with confidence.
We hope our Kids Academy Summer Sun Safety Pack helps make summer days a little easier for your family. Here’s to a season full of sunshine, outdoor fun and sun-safe adventures.
