    Study Notes

    Measures to Promote Good Hygiene in Child Care

    • Facilities should implement hygiene practices to minimize disease transmission.
    • Maintaining a clean environment is critical in reducing infection risk in child care settings.
    • Proper handwashing techniques should be taught and practiced by both children and staff.

    Common Sicknesses in Child Care

    • Viruses causing colds and flu are prevalent in child care facilities, even among vaccinated children.
    • Infants in group care may experience 8 to 12 additional colds compared to those cared for at home during their first year.
    • The frequency of respiratory illnesses typically decreases in children during their second year in child care due to immune system strengthening.
    • Diarrhea is expected once or twice a year in a typical child.

    AAP Child Care Recommendations for Exclusion

    • Children with respiratory symptoms (cough, runny nose, sore throat) and fever should be excluded from child care.
    • Children can return to care after a fever resolves without fever-reducing medications.
    • Annual flu vaccination is highly recommended for all staff and children 6 months and older.
    • Children aged 6 months to 8 years may require two doses of the flu vaccine for optimal protection.

    Conditions that Require Exclusion

    • Specific conditions necessitating exclusion include severe respiratory illness, gastrointestinal infections, and any communicable disease.
    • A clear list of specific diagnoses for exclusion criteria should be established for child care providers.

    When It's OK to Stay in Child Care

    • Children do not need to be excluded if they meet specific health criteria, except during flu outbreaks.
    • Ongoing minor symptoms without fever or communicability do not typically warrant exclusion from child care settings.
