Summer is a great time to update your First Aid Kit! Here's everything you'll need:
A waterproof case (moisture can damage many of your supplies)
Sanitizing wipes to clean your hands before attending to the person in need
Latex gloves to prevent the spread of infection
Antiseptic towelettes to clean out scrapes and cuts
Neosporin or other cream to prevent infection
Bandages of all sizes including band-aids, gauze,
and adhesive tape for cuts and blisters
Tweezers and a sterile needle for splinters
Instant ice packs for inflammation
Cotton balls and cotton swabs
Vaseline
Saline solution to clean out eyes
Small doses of over-the-counter medications such as Tylenol, Advil, Pepto-Bismol tablets, Dramamine,
and Benadryl for allergic reactions
Include children's versions of the above, if applicable - such as baby and children's pain relievers, prescribed
medications, Benadryl spray, a syringe or medicine cup for administering medications, and baby wipes —
don’t forget permission slips!
Thermometer
Disposable mask
Bug spray to prevent bites
Sunscreen to prevent burns
Hydrocortisone cream for rashes and bug bites
Tea tree oil to treat poison ivy
Aloe vera gel to help soothe a sunburn
Ear drops such as Aqua Ear or Swim Ear, sold without a pre-
scription, can help prevent the infection swimmer's ear (but talk
to your doctor first, especially if you're prone to the problem).
Consider adding an easy to comprehend first aid manual
Tips:
Store your summer first aid kit where it can be easily reached in an emergency, but not so accessible that a
child can get into it. You also want to keep it out of the direct sunlight to avoid overheating the
medications inside.
Check the contents of your summer first aid kit periodically, and replace all medications that are out of
date.
Summer Safety First!

September 28, 2015—Creative Curriculum for Infants, Toddlers & Twos: The Foundation, We will
be exploring the Creative Curriculum for Infants, Toddlers & Twos, Volume 2: Routines and
Experiences Book. Daily routines are one of the most important way to put research and theory
into practice. Children whose basic needs have been met consistently, and who have secure
attachments, are eager to experience the world. The chapters under Experiences describe
how each type of experience supports children’s development and learning and includes sugges-
tions on appropriate material for each age-group and explains how you can support children’s
learning by thoughtfully observing and responding to each child. If you have the Creative
Curriculum for Infants, Toddlers & Twos, Volume 2: Routines and Experiences book, please bring
it, but it is NOT a requirement for the training. 6:30 pm—8:30 pm, CCR&R Office in Shallotte,
