STOP the spread, one germ at a time! - September 29, 2010
Illness within childcare centres/schools is not an issue that should be taken lightly. There are many procedures and concerns involved in keeping children healthy, that all child care providers should be aware of. These procedures include; knowing common symptoms of illness to prevent outbreaks, how to administer medication properly, germ prevention (proper hygiene, hand washing, use of disinfecting solutions), administering a healthy lifestyle through nutrition and physical activity, informing parents of health changes and recommending medical attention, and encouraging parents to have children vaccinated. All of these things are important and need to be evident in all childcare environments. Without these precautions being taken the safety of the children and workers is at risk which is unacceptable when it takes such little effort to prevent illnesses.
