Class is in session and the March curriculum includes these educational tips:

Handwashing Tips

· Use soap and warm running water

· Was all surfaces thoroughly including wrists, palms, back of hands, fingers and under the fingernails

· Rubs hands together for at least 15-seconds

· Use a clean, dry towel to thoroughly dry your hands and then use that towel to open public restroom doors to avoid additional contamination

For younger children, consider having them sing “Happy Birthday” or recite their ABCs to encourage them to wash long enough (turn off the water to conserve!).
