Frequent Hand Washing
Number one on the list of prevention measures when your child is at his daycare is washing hands—frequently. That is, before and after meals, before
and after toileting, after nose blowing, after playing, upon arrival at
the childcare center, when leaving family daycare, and when arriving back home. Antibacterial soap is fine, but
plain old soap and water works just as well. The important thing to
remember is the duration or length of hand washing. Caregivers at large childcare centers as well as smaller family daycare in
should make hand washing a fun activity for children by
encouraging them to count to 20, sing the alphabet, recite a poem or
even make funny faces in the mirror while an adult counts to 20.
