My First Experience with the FCCRS

[Cat Herder]

Update: I sent another email to confirm the 2 minute soaping from training class and finally got a response. happyface

It said the instructor was mistaken, that it is 20 seconds for soaping, with water running. The 2 minutes is how long you have to leave the bleach solution to sit on the diaper changing/eating surfaces before wiping. Out of the reach of children, Timer recommended. I included the poster they referred me to. It did say not to use same paper towel to turn off water that is used to dry hands. Not sure if they will update posters.

You guys just saved me HOURS of drama. Thank you!!!! :hug:

Abigail, I loved reading your detailed post! I just want to mention something about the family photos and hanging things low. We have each child bring in about 4-6 pics of family members or their special people and pets. Then you glue those onto a paper and laminate it. Then stick a soft side of velcro on the back, place the rough velcro low down on the wall. Then all the kids can look at, take down, access, hug, nap with (), their special pictures and then put them back. Even helps if someone is sad and misses their Mommy Also, in our town there is a lending library for childcare providers, teachers, etc. There is free laminating there. Maybe you have something like that where you are?

We took pop tart boxes and had each child glue their family pics on them and then laminated them for the block center. We put newspaper inside the poptart boxes to make them more sturdy. We do this with each family so I have tons now but even the kids here enjoy the older pics and ask about the kids that used to stay at ms xxxx but are all grown up now.

Awesome!! And I would highly recommend getting these for your sinks. Because they automatically turn on when a kid puts their hands under it and turn off when they take them out it will save a ton on your water bill and in paper towel costs.
