Begin With Books: We all know how important it is to read to children on a daily basis. But,

we also know that it can be hard for childcare providers to get to the library for story times or to choose new books.

Let the library come to you! Begin with Books, an Arapahoe Libraries’ outreach

program, provides story time volunteers who love to share the joy of reading with children. Begin with Books volunteers present a monthly

story time, including books, songs and rhymes. They also leave a bag of books each time for providers to use throughout the month.

Help your kiddos develop a love of reading with the Begin with Books program! This service is available only for care providers residing within

the Arapahoe Libraries tax district. Please call for details.

To sign up, or for more information, please con-tact Betsy Brainerd, Child and Family Library Ser-vices, at 303-792-8999/ext. 12609. Or email at [email protected].

Childcare Licensing News Brief:

Did you know every 2 ½ minutes a child is injured seriously enough on a playground to need

emergency medical assistance? On average, 17 children die each year in playground-related

incidents.

Is your playground safe?

Are all areas of the playground designed so that all parts are visible and easily supervised? (7.702.73.B.4,

7.707.931.C, 7.712.43.C)

Move throughout the play environment, position yourself so that you can see the play environment from

different angles, continually scan the play environment to see children’s actions. Are all children accounted for when transitioning to and from the playground? (7.702.54.A.2, 7.707.741.A,

7.712.32.B)

Account for all children by doing not only head counts but also name to face recognition Is all outdoor play equipment appropriate for the children’s ages, sizes, and activities and maintained in a safe

condition? (7.702.61.A, 7.702.81.C, 7.707.83.K, 7.707.934.B, 7.712.74.A.7, 7.712.71.D.3)

Playgrounds must be maintained and repaired to keep them safe and make them last as long as possible. Do you have acceptable fall surfacing (wood mulch, pea gravel, shredded rubber)? Do you have the required

depth needed for the height of your equipment? If you are using a unitary material, does it meet ASTM F1292

standards and do you have this documentation from the manufacture on file? (7.702.62.B.9, 7.702.62.B.7,

7.707.932.A.1, 7.702.932.D)

Falls to inappropriate surfaces are the major contributing factor in injuries to children. Are you reporting any injuries that are requiring medical or dental treatment on the online injury report

form within 24 hours located on the Office of Early Childhood’s Website? (7.701.52.A.2, 7.702.93,

7.712.83.B) In addition to filling out the online injury report form, an incident report detailing the injury/injuries of the

child must be filled out and the parent’s or guardian’s need to be informed.

Things to Remember: Children need assistance, encouragement, and guidance from adults to determine what is safe on play-

grounds.

Play areas and play equipment should allow for differences among children. All children vary in physical,

emotional, social, and intellectual abilities.

Old or new, a playground is not safe unless: it is properly supervised, it is designed to match the ages and

abilities of the children who play there, and it has adequate and appropriate surfacing, use zone and is

maintained regularly. Don’t forget supervision and safety doesn’t end at the classroom doors. Outside time is just as important

and provides tremendous opportunities for learning. The playground is an extension of the classroom, not

break time. Get outside and have a great summer!
