Ah, winter. Time for cozy sweaters, hot cocoa… and unfortunately, the dreaded cold and flu season. But don’t worry, parents! We’re here to help you keep your little ones healthy and happy all season long.
At The Village, we’re committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for your children. Here are some of the healthy habits we practice, and that you can reinforce at home:
- Wash, Wash, Wash Those Hands! đŤ§
Proper handwashing is the first line of defense against germs. We encourage frequent handwashing throughout the day, especially before meals and after using the restroom. Make it fun by singing the ABCs while lathering up!
- Cover Those Coughs and Sneezes! đ¤§
Teach your children to cough or sneeze into their elbows or a tissue. This helps prevent the spread of germs through the air.
- Keep Those Hands Away! đ
Encourage children to avoid touching their faces, especially their eyes, nose, and mouth. This can help prevent germs from entering their bodies.
- Healthy Eating = Healthy Bodies! đ
A balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains helps boost the immune system. We provide nutritious meals and snacks at The Village and encourage you to do the same at home.
- Rest is Best! đ´
Adequate sleep is crucial for a strong immune system. Make sure your child is getting enough rest, both at night and with naps during the day.
- Stay Home When Sick! đ¤
We know it can be tough to miss work or school, but keeping your child home when they are sick is essential to prevent the spread of illness.
- Teamwork Makes the Dream Work! đŞ
We work closely with parents to maintain a healthy environment. Please keep us informed if your child is feeling unwell.
By working together and practicing these healthy habits, we can help keep our children healthy and happy throughout the cold and flu season.
