Hygiene

This page is dedicated to highlighting ideas for protecting children by using extreme hygiene procedures that children can follow without extreme hardship. How do we create independent activities and private workspace? How do we sanitize all the materials after each use? How do we separate children during our daily routines? What are the arrival and departure procedures? 

Everything you need to know (and more) about health and safety for children can be found in the book "Caring for Our Children". This is available as a pdf download on their site.
