[quote=Anonymous]Our center requires this for both children AND parents - you come in and wash your hands and your child's hands, then put the baby's bottles away, food, etc.  And the baby gets down on the floor and starts playing with toys with clean hands (or is given to teachers or put on the play mat for younger babies).  For our toddlers and preschoolers, I know the parents put their child's stuff in the cubby (coat, etc) and then wash their child's hands (and their hands) and then the child starts playing with toys.  There are an incredible number of germs between home and school: being on the metro, going through the turnstiles, coughing into your hand, touching your cell phone, and the list goes on.  We also want parents to wash their hands as they enter their classroom at the end of the day before moving around the classroom to pick up bottles, get their day sheet, their child, etc.  Our toddler and preschool parents don't do this because they tend to just get their child without too much touching everything and go, but in the infant room they do tend to touch toys, shelves, etc. as they pick up all the stuff they need to at the end of the day.
