“A clean home is a cool home, a clean bowl makes for tasty rice,” goes the old saying, still relevant today. Especially in a kindergarten environment, where our little ones eat, sleep, learn, and play, maintaining cleanliness is more important than ever. Good hygiene not only makes the school look beautiful but is also key to protecting children’s health, preventing diseases, and building a solid foundation for their overall development. Are you interested in learning how to create a personal hygiene plan in kindergarten? Let’s explore together!
The Importance of a Kindergarten Hygiene Plan
Young children, especially preschoolers, have weaker immune systems and are very susceptible to bacteria and viruses. A clean learning environment will minimize the risk of cross-infection of infectious diseases such as hand, foot, and mouth disease, flu, measles, etc. Moreover, a clean and tidy school also creates a comfortable and safe feeling, stimulating children’s learning and playing spirit. Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan, principal of Hoa Sen Kindergarten in Hanoi, emphasized in her book “Raising Healthy Preschool Children”: “School hygiene is not only the responsibility of the school but also the joint effort of families and society.”
Building an Effective Kindergarten Hygiene Plan
An effective kindergarten hygiene plan should include the following elements:
Daily Cleaning
- Classroom: Wipe tables, chairs, toys, floors, and windows. Regularly open windows for ventilation.
- Toilets: Clean toilets, sinks, and floors after each use by children.
- Dining area: Wash dishes, bowls, and cups after children eat. Clean tables and tablecloths.
- Playground: Sweep leaves and trash. Inspect and ensure the safety of outdoor play equipment.
Periodic Cleaning
- General cleaning: Once a month, conduct a general cleaning of the entire school, including washing blankets, curtains, and sanitizing toys with disinfectant solution.
- Insecticide spraying: Periodically spray insecticide to prevent insect-borne diseases.
Personal Hygiene for Children
Teach children personal hygiene skills such as washing hands before eating and after using the toilet, covering their mouths when coughing or sneezing. Encourage children to consciously maintain personal hygiene. Are you looking for kindergarten scripts about personal hygiene for children? Our website has many useful resources!
