Protecting Children from the SunJust a few serious sunburns can increase your child’s risk of skin cancer later in life. Kids don’t

have to be at the pool, beach, or on vacation to get too much sun. Their skin needs protection from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays whenever they’re outdoors.

5 Seek shade. UV rays are strongest and most harmful during midday, so it’s best to plan indoor activities then. If this is not possible, seek shade under a tree, an umbrella, or a pop-up tent. Use these options to prevent sunburn, not to seek relief after it’s happened.

5 Cover up. Clothing that covers your child’s skin helps protect against UV rays. Although a long-sleeved shirt

and long pants with a tight weave are best, they aren’t always practical. A T-shirt, long shorts, or a beach cover-up are good choices, too—but it’s wise to double up on protection by applying sunscreen or keeping your child in the shade when possible.

5 Get a hat. Hats that shade the face, scalp, ears, and neck are easy to use and give great protection. Baseball caps are popular among kids, but they don’t protect their ears and neck. If your child chooses a cap, be sure to protect exposed areas with sunscreen.

5 Wear sunglasses. They protect your child’s eyes from UV rays, which can lead to cataracts later in life. Look for sunglasses that wrap around and block as close to 100% of both UVA and UVB rays as possible.

5 Apply sunscreen. Use sunscreen with at least SPF 15 and UVA and UVB protection every time your child goes outside. For the best protection, apply sunscreen generously 30 minutes before going outdoors. Don’t forget to protect ears, noses, lips, and the tops of feet.

Take sunscreen with you to reapply during the day, especially after your child swims or exercises. This applies to waterproof and water-resistant products as well.

Follow the directions on the package for using a sunscreen product on babies less than 6 months old. All products do not have the same ingredients; if your or your child’s skin reacts badly to one product, try another one or call a doctor. Your baby’s best defense against sunburn is avoiding the sun or staying in the shade.

Keep in mind, sunscreen is not meant to allow kids to spend more time in the sun than they would otherwise. Try combining sunscreen with other options to prevent UV damage.Too Much Sun HurtsWarning: Even a few serious sunburns can increase your child’s risk of getting skin cancer.

Getting sunburnt? Unprotected skin can be damaged by the sun’s UV rays in as little as 15 minutes. Yet it can take up to 12 hours for skin to show the full effect of sun exposure. So, if your child’s skin looks “a little pink” today, it may be burned tomorrow morning. To prevent further burning, get your child out of the sun.

Tan? There’s no other way to say it—tanned skin is damaged skin. Any change in the color of your child’s skin after time outside—whether sunburn or suntan—i n d i c a t e s damage from UV rays.

Cool and cloudy? Children still need protection. UV rays, not the temperature, do the damage. Clouds do not block UV rays, they filter them—and sometimes only slightly.

Oops! Kids often get sunburned when they are outdoors unprotected for longer than expected. Remember to plan ahead, and keep sun protection handy—in your car, bag, or child’s backpack.

Cómo proteger a los niños del solTan solo unas cuantas quemaduras solares graves pueden aumentar el riesgo de que su hijo contraiga cáncer de piel en la edad adulta. Los niños no necesitan estar en la piscina, en la playa o de vacaciones para recibir demasiado sol. La piel de los niños debe estar protegida de los dañinos rayos ultravioleta (UV) siempre que los niños estén al aire libre.

5 Busque la sombra. La radiación ultravioleta es más intensa y perjudicial cerca del mediodía, así que durante esas horas es mejor planear actividades que no sean al aire libre. Si eso no es posible, hay que resguardarse bajo la sombra de un árbol, una sombrilla o una carpa. Estas precauciones son para prevenir las quemaduras solares, no para aliviarlas.

5 Cúbralos. Las prendas de vestir que cubren la piel de su hijo ayudan a protegerlo de los rayos ultravioleta. Aunque es mucho mejor usar una camisa de manga larga y pantalones largos de tela de tejido cerrado, esta no siempre es la opción más práctica. Una camiseta, pantalones cortos tipo bermuda o una capa de baño también son adecuados; pero es prudente reforzar la protección aplicándole filtro solar al niño o manteniéndolo en la sombra cuando sea posible.

5 Póngales un sombrero. Los sombreros que cubren el rostro, la cabeza, las orejas y el cuello son fáciles de usar y ofrecen una protección excelente. A los niños les gusta usar gorras de béisbol, pero éstas no protegen las orejas ni el cuello. Si su hijo prefiere las gorras, asegúrese de proteger las áreas expuestas con un filtro solar.

5 Haga que usen gafas de sol. Las gafas de sol protegen los ojos de su hijo de los rayos ultravioleta, que con el tiempo pueden causar cataratas. Busque gafas que protejan los lados del rostro y que bloqueen casi el 100% de los rayos UVA y UVB.

5 Póngales filtro solar. Siempre que su hijo esté al aire libre, aplíquele filtro solar con un factor de protección solar o FPS de por lo menos 15 y que proteja contra los rayos UVA y UVB. Para gozar de una máxima protección, aplíquele al niño abundante filtro solar 30 minutos antes de salir al aire libre. No olvide aplicarle el filtro en las orejas, nariz, labios y en la parte superior de los pies.

Tampoco olvide llevar consigo el filtro solar para volver

a aplicárselo durante el día, en particular después de que el niño nade o haga ejercicio. Esto incluye los productos a prueba de agua y resistentes al agua.

Siga las instrucciones del envase para el uso del filtro solar en bebés menores de 6 meses de edad. No todos los productos tienen los mismos ingredientes; si su piel o la de su hijo tiene una reacción adversa al filtro solar, cambie de producto o consulte con su médico. La mejor forma de proteger a su bebé de las quemaduras solares es evitar el sol o permanecer en la sombra.

Tenga presente que el objetivo del filtro solar no es permitir que los niños pasen más tiempo de lo habitual al sol. Trate de combinar el uso del filtro solar con las otras opciones indicadas anteriormente para evitar los daños que pueden causar los rayos UV.Demasiado sol es dañinoAdvertencia: Tan solo unas cuantas quemaduras graves pueden aumentar el riesgo de que su hijo contraiga cáncer de piel

¿Coloradito? En tan solo 15 minutos, la piel desprotegida puede sufrir daños a causa de los rayos UV. Sin embargo, pueden pasar hasta 12 horas para que se noten en su totalidad los efectos de la exposición al sol. Así que, si la piel de su hijo se nota hoy “algo colorada”, al día siguiente por la mañana podría verse quemada. Para evitar que su niño se siga quemando, resguárdelo del sol.

¿Tiene bronceada la piel? Lo cierto es que piel bronceada es piel lesionada. Cualquier cambio en la coloración de la piel de su hijo después de haber estado al aire libre, ya sea por quemadura solar o bronceado, es una señal del daño causado por los rayos UV.

¿Un día fresco y nublado? Aún así, los niños necesitan protección. Son los rayos UV, no la temperatura, lo que causa el daño. Las nubes no bloquean los rayos UV sino que los filtran, y a veces solo ligeramente.

¡Uy! Con frecuencia, los niños sufren quemaduras solares cuando están

al aire libre sin protección durante más tiempo de lo previsto. Prepárese con anticipación y tenga la

protección solar siempre a mano, en su auto, bolso o en la mochila del niño.

Enchanted Wine Country Evening Success!

The 6th annual Enchanted Wine Country Evening hosted by Korbel Champagne Cellars, in their beautiful events garden, was a sold-out success. The weather was perfect for this outdoor dinner/dance/auction fundraiser for RCCS.

The dinner, silent, and “loud” auction netted over $14,000 to support programs and services in west Sonoma County. It was a truly fabulous evening, The food was great, the music excellent and with enthusiastic bidders on all the items donated. (see page 5 for a complete listing of all the individuals and businesses who donated items for the

auctions).

Because RCCS is celebrating its 35th year in operation, Donna Roper, our executive director, gave all a quick history of the agency and presented personalized pickets to some of RCCS’s long-time supporters:Dominic Maccario, Brian Plaugher, Walter Leiss, Frank Howard Allen Realtors (Guerneville office), and Fran Levy, for 25 years of service.

Our sincere thanks to all who attended and donated to the evenings success!

PRE MATH LEARNING SKILLSFOR TODDLERS

This kit was made to address some areas of need that were revealed by our composite scores in the DRDPS in the area of pre math learning skills. This particular kit is designed specifically for toddlers. We plan to take it to providers and children and model the use of these toys in a play based learning environment. We have other pre math kits designed for toddlers and school aged children.

Our toy library offers these and other toys that the providers can borrow to use in their homes. We feature curriculum kits in many areas of curriculum designed to be age appropriate in a play based learning environ-ment. The kits are designed to be mindful of the FCCRS and DRDP assessment tools. Most of the kits include theme based information for providers and parents that offer ways to extend the learning activities for chil-dren. Our monthly provider workshops are designed to address the areas of need from the FCCRS, and DRDP results as well.

Desired Results Developmental Profiles: Information for Providers

and Parents

Once a year, an RCCS Child Development Resource Specialist (CDRS), Mendy Behrens, Cara Colombo or Olga King, compiles the most recent DRDP results for the RCCS-subsidized children in each Family Child Care Home in the Family Child Care Home Educational Network (FCCHEN). The CDRS analyzes the data and outlines an individualized summary of strengths and areas to develop according to the children’s specific needs within each FCC home (Summary of Findings). The CDRS then shares the summaries with the child’s care provider and parent(s).The CDRS offers resources and information to help implement any changes.

The Desired Results Developmental Profile (DRDP) is an assessment tool used to measure various aspects of a child’s development. The DRDP Assessment Tool (see sample below) is used to document a child’s progress in the assessment areas. These results are then discussed with the provider, and offered to the parent, so that they may plan developmentally appropriate activities to build each child’s strengths and develop any areas of challenge.

Korbel Enchanted Wine Counrty Evening a fantastic success Thanks to our Donors!

Every three years RCCS goes through a detailed contracts audit by the California Department of Education. At the end of this year’s contract monitoring review, our State Consultant had this praise in her findings report:

“The review of River to Coast Children’s Services reflects the well coordinated efforts of a very dedicated team who are affecting children and families everyday. The “river-to-coast” community is fortunate to have such an established agency available to access resources to support the well-being of children and their families.

All items reviewed in the Child Development Instrument are in compliance. It has been a pleasure to learn more about the people behind the scenes and as a consequence, now absolutely understand why full compliance is achieved. The passion, partnered with the knowledge about child and family development reflects in thoughtful practices and a true commitment to excellence. Thank you for your work in the variety of roles you all fulfill to be such a solid anchor in Guerneville and its surrounding community.”

This programs’ assessment sums up River to Coast Children’s Services perfectly! AND, by supporting our work, donors such as yourself are an important part of the RCCS team. Thank You.

Here is what our State Department of Education program auditor had to say about RCCS:

RCCS Welcomes Andy HilldaleAndy joined RCCS full time in June, taking over all those attendance sheets, parent fees and “accidental techie” jobs that Fran Levy has managed so capably for the last 25 years. With over 25 years of bookkeeping experience himself, he is primed to carry on with the excellent service providers and parents have historically received from RCCS.

Andy comes to RCCS from the tree care industry where he worked as the office manager for a locally owned business. His background includes forestry and commercial fishing. Currently residing in Cazadero, he spends his free time motorcycling, kayaking and woodturning. He is a member of the Russian River Rotary and enjoys serving our community.

in and outs of attendance sheets

AFTER 25 YEARS HELPING RCCS FAMILIES, FRAN LEVY BIDS RCCS FAREWELL!

Twenty five years ago, when River Child Care ran a child care center, Fran Levy started working with us. She helped in the preschool program and worked part time as a bookkeeper. The books were kept with paper and pencil. Providers getting reimbursed turned in attendance sheets, and all of the work was done without the convenience of computers.

Talk about change! Computers came to RCCS, and Fran became the “Accidental Techie” and the go-to person for all things computer related! Not only is everything computerized, but the old Kendall house RCCS rented, is totally

renovated and now belongs to RCCS; we not longer provide direct child care services; and our service area has expanded up the coast and into Santa Rosa.

Fran has seen it all! She has stuck by this agency through thick and thin – through many providers, Executive Directors and supervisors. She has always had a “can do” attitude and goes out of her way to help her colleagues.

We wish her the best of luck! We wish her Aloha, not Goodbye...
