-Sunscreen: practice safe and hygienic sunscreen application with children to avoid any cross contamination and the spread of germs

-Sleeping Areas: to always keep and maintain the sleeping area/arrangements in a clean and sanitary manner, i.e. blanket and sheets for children should not be touching each other and must be laundered regularly ( at least once a week, or more often if soiled or visibly dirty).
