Welcome to Fall 2011 Little Vikes Preschool
Keep Your Children Healthy:
Remember to keep work with your child on the following healthy habits:
1.  Cough into your upper sleeve - NOT your hands
2.  Wash hands regularly with warm soapy water for at least 20 seconds
3.  Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer when necessary
4.  Have your child remain home for at least 24 hours after a fever
5.  If your child misses 2 or more days of preschool, please get a doctor's note before sending them back to preschool.
