Maintaining a Healthy Child Care Environment

Keeping children of all ages safe and healthy is one of the most important tasks of Child Care Providers. Whether children are in center- or home-based care, providers are responsible for ensuring safety both inside and outside their child care setting. Here are some high traffic areas in your center that should be constantly cleaned/sanitized: 

• Entrance into the school

• Staff Restrooms

• Diapering/Toileting areas 

• Kitchen/Food prep area inside the classroom

• Outdoor play equipment
  

Do THIS daily:

• Daily health checks upon arrival to include temperature checks

• HANDWASHING! (#1 most effective way to prevent the spread of communicable disease)

• Cleaning your toys, tabletops, counters, sweeping/mopping
