Fostering a healthy and supportive environment within childcare centers is essential for the well-being and success of children, staff, and their families. The HKPR District Health Unit collaborates closely with childcare providers to promote the health, safety, and overall well-being of the entire community.
Operators and staff of Child Care Centers play a key role in the health of the children in their care. Infectious diseases can spread easily from child to child, or to and from staff within the child care environment.
