Tips for parents sending their children to daycare

• Make sure that your child washes his/her hands immediately before leaving home and again immediately as you return home.
• If possible, parents should not enter the daycare centre and should let the child walk the last steps to the front door unescorted.
• Teach your child proper handwashing procedures and talk to your child about the general guidelines regarding social distancing and hygiene.
• Bring outdoor clothing and sunscreen if applicable.
• Do not bring toys from home.
• Your child must not share his/her food with others. This includes handing out candy on birthdays.
• Try to limit after-daycare play to the small group of children in your child’s play group at the daycare centre. Follow the guidelines about playing together in groups of no more than 2-3 children.
• Keep a close eye on your child’s health. If he/she displays even the mildest illness symptoms, keep your child at home and call your GP.
• If you feel any illness symptoms, stay at home and keep your child at home with you.
• If your child becomes ill at the daycare centre, pick him/her up immediately and call your GP.
