During the winter months more child care homes experience an increase in illnesses in the children. The most effective way to prevent the spread of disease is with proper handwashing. The B.Smart Challenge for February is to make handwashing a priority in your child care. Soap, running water and disposable towels are the keys to proper handwashing.

At the end of the month, print a participation certificate for the kids for this challenge in the B.Smart Cyber Club page of this site.

B.Smart says, "Wash those hands to keep healthy!"
