Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood. Fred Rogers

Daylight Savings Time ends on November 3rd
Fall is here!
Don't let the colder weather keep you inside! There are still lots of things to do outside and getting some fresh air is great for both body and mind. Take advantage of the days ahead to get out to one of the many parks here in Lee's Summit! We are so fortunate to have so many park opportunities in our community!
There is still time to get outside!!!

Surviving the Cold and Flu Season
1. Wash Your Hands
Soap 'em up often and scrub well! You pick up germs on your fingers and can get them in your mouth or eyes. Many viruses spread this way. To teach your toddler how long they need to scrub, sing a song while you wash! You can find great handwashing songs on the internet or make up your own!
2. Get Your Flu Shot
You may think of the flu as only a minor problem, but it can be very serious. The flu can even be dangerous, especially for young children, older adults, and pregnant women. It’s a myth that the flu vaccine can give you the flu.
3. Pay Attention to Symptoms
Cold or flu? There's no surefire way to tell the symptoms apart. Even your doctor may not be sure which one you have without testing. Usually, colds are milder. You might have a runny or stuffy nose. The flu is usually more severe and comes on suddenly. Fever, body aches, and exhaustion are more common with it.
4. Stay Home if You're Sick
Keep your child home if they are sick. Your cold could last longer, and you could also spread germs to other people. Remember, our program follows the school district policy of no fever, vomiting or diarrhea within 24 hours of our home visits! Use this guideline for keeping your sick child home from school or for going on community outings.
See the information below from our nurses office for information on staying home from school and when to return.
