As per Manitoba’s child care regulations, BBE includes time outdoors every day except when there are extreme cold or  heat conditions. 

​In the winter children are outside to minus 25 degrees Celsius with or without a wind chill, so children must be dressed with suitable, cold temperature outdoor clothing.  In the summer, children must be dressed in cool clothing, hats and bring a swimsuit and towel for outdoor water activities.
 
Staff monitor UV levels in the summer and take precautions to limit sun exposure during the hottest part of the day (between 11am and 4pm) by using sunscreen, staying hydrated with water, and wearing hats.

Spending time outdoors is an important part of our program and children will spend as much time outside as possible learning, growning and investigating nature.
