[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you so much for your detailed post.  It's very helpful.

Posters from months/years prior had complained about a lack of emphasis on hygiene.  Have you noticed that/had a problem with the emphasis on hand washing etc.?  Notice more flu/random epidemics than you would expect from a preschool program?

Thanks again![/quote]

No flu outbreak this year, although the standard runny noses that make their rounds at any daycare, preschool or elementary school.  If anyone comes down with strep, flu, or any other contagious illness the director sends a school-wide email alerting parents that "a case of strep has been confirmed in the Dolphins class.  Here are the symptoms of strep - x, y, z.  Reminder of our sick child policy" so I'm pretty sure regarding the amount and type of illnesses making their way around the school.

The kids wash their hands after pottying and coming in from playing.  Sometimes I think it's probably better than others in terms of the quality of the hand-washing, but it is done.  This winter they instituted a new semi-voluntary policy asking parents to wash hands with their kids as they arrive in the morning so that everyone starts the day having washed off germs brought in from the outside.[/quote]
