Clean hands are one of the best ways to keep everyone healthy. Teaching children proper handwashing habits early helps prevent germs from spreading at home, at school, and in the community.

At home, families can support healthy habits by reminding children to wash their hands before meals, after using the restroom, after playing outside, and after coughing or sneezing. Making handwashing part of the daily routine helps children build lifelong habits.

At school, we teach children the importance of handwashing by modeling proper techniques, practicing regularly throughout the day, and encouraging handwashing at key times such as before meals, after using the bathroom,  and after activities. By working together, we help children stay healthy and confident in caring for themselves.

Together, we can keep our children and community healthy.
