What can we do to keep kids healthy?
If you work with young children, you’ve probably had your share of sick days! It seems to come with the territory – but you can stop the spread of contagious illnesses like influenza, sore throats, stomach viruses and runny noses by following the simple practices described in this course. You’ll also learn about requirements for immunizations and best practices for administering medications. We include videos that show how to properly sanitize your classroom. We also include teaching activities that help children understand how to keep themselves and others healthy. Print the Listening Sheet before you begin to take notes.
You get handouts on best practices for giving medication, forms needed for following state requirements, how to make bleach water disinfecting solution, diaper changing procedures, cleaning checklists for the classroom, plus fun hand washing activities and steps for children to easily follow.
