    Ilinois Daycare Temps?

    What is the law on temp and outdoor play? We had a heat warning yesterday and my boss didn't bat a eyelash when my coworker insisted we go out, when it was 96 degrees!!

    I don’t recall the regs, but I would not have taken kids out. The heat indexes were terrible. Ours was 111F, statewide was heat index over 100 almost everywhere all day.

    As a parent I would have been very angry. As a employee I would have refused to go out as I cannot handle that type of heat at all and would need accommodations (I’ve had heat exhaustion too many times to count, now I can’t handle much at all).

      TEMP regulations vary by state... No way would I have taken kids out; TN the highest temp allowed is 95 including heat index. I go out early morning & stay in the shade for a good part of that time, but after lunch/nap, not a chance right now due to extreme temps & air quality issues too

        Teachers know the many ways children benefit from outdoor play. But when should the weather keep them indoors?
