Children are at greater risk of infections mainly due to their developing immune systems and immature hygiene skills and practices. Children attending group care settings such as family day care are at even greater risk to infection due simply to a greater exposure.
We, at Shining Stars Family Day Care recognise the importance of a safe and healthy environment with sound infection control strategies, knowledge, resources and support.
We are committed to all stakeholders’ health and implement and promote healthy eating, physical exercise, cross infection minimisation strategies and immunisations for both adults and children.
We achieve this through training, information and advocacy for stakeholders, ensuring educators hold the skills and certifications that enhance their knowledge in minimizing infections, the safe handling of foods and medications, cleaning and sterilisation techniques and notifications and exclusion requirements
