Anyone who has been around toddlers before will agree that they can get messy. They may be playing with paints, mud, and rocks or filling their tummy with lunch or a snack. It only takes a little while to get their hands dirty. To prevent bacteria and illnesses that can be avoided, there are simple items to add to the daycare facility to make sure the little ones stay clean while they learn and have fun.
Adding a portable sink into a daycare will make cleaning as easy as one-two-three. The great advantage to having a portable sink in the daycare is that these sinks require no plumbing, and little installation. The only requirement to maintaining the sink is making sure there is enough clean water and empting the waste water tanks.
Portable sinks are often high since they are used by adults. There are specially made sinks available that are just the right size for toddlers to easily reach. These sinks come with safety lock casters which provide easy mobility. Usually these types of sinks come with both hot and cold water. The water is heated by an adjustable water heater which allows water temperature to be adjusted between 95 to 155 degrees. These portable sinks are not limited to just what is mentioned. There are also a few extra features that can be added. A motion sensor is an excellent option for a portable sink in a daycare. This allows the child to simply put their hands in the sink and the water will turn on. It not only will get the child clean quickly, it conserves water. 75% less water is used, which will lengthen the time between refilling the clean water. Another feature to consider that would be greatly used is a soap dispenser. This makes hand-washing more successful when the child sees the soap nearby.
Keeping areas clean where children are is very important to keep germs from spreading. Whether the child has a cold, or was playing with toys that other children played with. Making sure he or she gets in the habit of keeping their hands clean will help them later on in life. Having a portable sink in a daycare facility will make this possible and keep everyone clean and healthy.
