At Wiggles and Giggles Preschool, the well-being and safety of our children and staff are paramount. Understanding the concerns of parents in today’s world, we’ve integrated rigorous health and safety practices into our daily routines and curriculum, ensuring a secure and nurturing environment for your little ones.
Vigilant Illness PreventionWe maintain a strict policy regarding respiratory illnesses and fevers. Any child or staff member exhibiting symptoms is required to stay home until they are fever-free for at least 24 hours. This approach not only safeguards our preschool community but also instills a sense of responsibility and awareness among children and staff.
Regular Disinfection and SanitationToys and surfaces that are frequently touched undergo regular disinfecting and sanitizing. We recognize the importance of maintaining a hygienic environment, especially in areas where our young learners play and explore. This practice is vital in minimizing the spread of germs and ensuring the health of everyone in our preschool.
Embedding Handwashing in Our CurriculumHandwashing is not just a health practice at our preschool; it’s an integral part of our curriculum. We actively teach and encourage frequent handwashing among children and staff, making it a natural and consistent part of their day. This habit not only helps in keeping germs at bay but also educates children on the importance of personal hygiene from an early age.
Educating and Informing Our TeachersOur teachers receive thorough training on recognizing common signs of illness in children. Every classroom is equipped with signage to keep these signs of illness top of mind, ensuring that our educators are always vigilant and proactive in addressing any health concerns.
Ensuring Cleanliness and Comfort for Infants and Older ChildrenWe take extra care when it comes to our youngest learners. Crib sheets for infants are laundered daily. For older children, we provide individual cots and blankets, which are laundered weekly. This approach not only ensures cleanliness but also offers a personal, comfortable space for each child.
Continuous Training for Our StaffOur staff regularly undergoes health and safety training, including first aid and CPR certification. We believe in the continuous professional development of our team, especially in areas crucial to child care and early childhood education. This ongoing training ensures that our staff is always equipped with the latest knowledge and skills to provide the best care and education for your children.
