In summer we operate a sun smart policy which recommends your child wear clothing that protects them from sunburn. They will need a named sunhat that can stay at Magic Garden.
You should apply sunscreen as you get your child dressed in the morning. Teachers apply more sunscreen when children get up from their rest in the afternoon. Bring in your own sunscreen if your child has a sensitive skin. Magic Garden provides a SPF50+ sunscreen for general use.
In winter, please keep gumboots as a weather appropriate
option rather than an every/all day option. A spare pair of shoes in the back pack is a good strategy if your child insists on
wearing gumboots to Magic Garden.
We reinforce a ‘shoes and socks on’ policy throughout the winter. We have found this significantly reduces absences and this is supported by researchers who have recently linked cold feet to people having weaker immune response making them more susceptible to infection and illness.
