It’s the touch that counts

How can we use the time we spend cleaning up more effectively?

As we all know, the most effective way for children to learn is to experience the object or concept first hand, and in as many ways as there are senses.

And it is the sense of touch which often results in there being a significant amount of temporary collateral damage – also known as mess.

Yet the valuable learning experiences they get from using their sense of touch is significant, rendering the resultant mess somewhat insignificant.

However, the process of cleaning up this mess takes time, time that could be better spent with the children.

So what can be done to reduce that amount of time?

Quite simply, as in all workplaces, where staff are provided with plentiful and readily available means to carry out the cleaning tasks safely, without spoiling their clothing, the cleaning up process is faster.

What’s more, when the relevant materials are available in the room, or near the workstation where the activity is taking place, then the time taken to clear up can be dramatically reduced.

Whether the staff decide to wear protection when cleaning up is up to them, but making sure that there is a plentiful supply of protection is a must.

S & S Services offer a range of clothing and skin protection for both staff and children. Among these are Adult Aprons, Vinyl Gloves and Paper Towels along with Paper Towel Dispensers – the necessities of any nursery school room.
