Sanitation and Disease Prevention

Following standard (or "universal") precautions is essential in preventing the spread of disease. Participant discussion includes the causes of disease, how germs are spread, and ways to prevent the spread of disease in childcare. Content includes infectious and non-infectious diseases; how the body "fights" germs and the role of immunization; viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites; food-borne illness, cleaning and disinfecting; and of course, hand washing. Participant activities show fun ways to educate children about disease prevention.
