The number one reason my students miss school is because of illnesses. We can't teach students who aren't in school. For many of my students, this is their first time in school and are much more susceptible to common illnesses. These cleaning supplies will allow for us to disinfect the classroom on a regular basis to help keep the transmission of germs and illnesses down.
Preschool can be a dirty place where germs like to breed.
With little kids, it's hard for them to keep their hands out of their faces and mouths which makes the spread of germs easy. The disinfectant wipes, spray and paper towels will be used to wipe down nap mats, toys, chairs, and tables on a regular basis. The baby wipes are safe for the children to use to wipe their faces and help wipe down chairs to help keep the transmission of illnesses down. Kleenex will be used to wipe noses and hand sanitizer will be used to disinfect hands when hand washing isn't available. The soap will be used for hand washing when hand washing is available.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
