Precautions

The health of everyone at COA is very important to us. We adhere to the concept of universal precautions. This means

our staff helps to teach your child the personal skills necessary to keep him or her healthy and help to stop the spread of

illness and disease. Children are taught to wash their hands after toileting, before and after meals, when coming in from

outside and as needed. We also provide a consent form for your signature in the event you wish to have sunscreen, insect

repellant or ointment applied to your child.

Special booties are worn over shoes in the infant room to help contain the spread of bacteria that might be brought in

from the outside. Our facilities are professionally cleaned and carpeted areas are cleaned frequently.
