Description
While giving a tour to a prospective family at a local early childhood center, the director makes sure to communicate just how important their child’s health is. While the family is touring the center, a group of toddlers are washing their hands for lunch as two teachers are singing a special handwashing song with them as they do it. The family can see that this is an important routine, and the children took great pride in their ability to keep the classroom healthy through handwashing rituals. The parents begin to wonder what other measures the staff takes in order to keep young children safe and healthy.
