Safety & Organization Tips for Daycares

Today, Avery Products Canada is sharing tips to help your childcare facility stay organized and safe.

Caring for groups of little ones is a very big job, whether you manage a large childcare franchise or an independent, in-home daycare. Kids are always on the move and into anything they can get their hands on. That is why staying organized is so important.

Keep your childcare business happy, safe, and healthy with these practical organization tips for filing, feeding, cleanup and more!

Organize Play Stations and Toys

Make it easy for kids to clean up after playtime, with large labels applied to storage bins, toyboxes, and cubbies. Personalize the labels with words and associated images, that way kids of all ages and at all reading levels will know where things belong.
If you plan to reuse the bins for other things later, apply labels with Removable adhesive rather than permanent.

Call Out Important Information

Ensure that important file details and other information remain front and center with Colour Coding Labels. Use these labels to add at-a-glance highlights to folders, documents, whiteboards, and more to help ensure that new workers, temporary workers and others don’t miss vital information about the facility operations and children in your care.

Put Arts and Crafts Supplies in Their Place

The arts and crafts centre tends to be one of the most chaotic spots in any daycare. To keep it organized use a variety of different boxes, bins and open top containers to keep things in one spot. Construction paper, glue, printable crafting sheets, scissors, chalk and other supplies can be successfully stowed away and identified with labels in different sizes and shapes.

Organize Diaper Storage

Whether parents supply the diapers for their children, or your daycare facility provides diapers as a service, adding labels to your diaper storage area will make to easy to prevent mix-ups. This is especially important when the parents provide the diapers. Since some children have sensitive skin and can only use certain brands, it is important to keep the diapers assigned and labelled for that specific child.

Post Menus and Announcements

Display messages, announcements, and important information without worrying about damaging your surfaces. Removable Self-Adhesive Sign Protector Sleeves make it easy to create professional-looking signage. That means no more thumbtacks or tape on your walls. Simply print your menu or message on a standard size sheet of paper and slide it into the Diamond Clear protector sleeve.

Provide Hygiene Reminders

Add hygiene and training reminders to glass, mirrored and metal surfaces to keep the little ones on track in the bathroom. Removable Vinyl label sheets are as great choice when you need to create signs that are durable and wipeable.
