Hygiene

4.6   HYGIENE

Educators and staff adhere to and follow strict hygiene practices to ensure that cross-infection is kept minimal.  Educators encourage children of all ages to carry out basic hygiene practices by:

• role modeling for the children, and using correct procedures
• initiating discussions with the children about good health and hygiene practices, ear care and dental care and the reasons for them
• providing up to date information for parents on hygiene, ear and dental care so these practices are also consistent at home
• encouraging children to follow basic rules of hygiene
• supervising bathrooms at all times and talking children through procedures if necessary
