Juggling curious little hands all day means we take handwashing seriously but here’s the thing most people don’t realize: it’s not the fancy soap or the water temperature that keeps kids healthy, it’s the scrubbing.
Research shows that real magic happens when kids (and adults!) rub their hands together for about 20 seconds. That friction is what lifts germs off the skin so the water can rinse them away. Without the rubbing, even the best soap can’t do much.
So in our classroom, we turn handwashing into a fun experience, bubbles, rubbing between those tiny fingers, singing a quick song not because it looks cute, but because we know it works. That 20-second scrub keeps classrooms cleaner, kids healthier, and learning on track.
Handwashing seems simple, but doing it right makes all the difference. And we’re here to help our little learners build habits that keep them safe every single day.
