    Socorro, it’s great that you’re emphasizing the importance of sanitation practices in your program. Highlighting the disinfection process after every meal, diaper change, and at the end of each day with the toys is a crucial safety procedure to mention to prospective parents. It shows that you prioritize the health and well-being of the children in your care. Additionally, you could also mention any specific safety protocols you have in place for emergencies or how you ensure the security of the physical environment. Overall, your focus on sanitation is a valuable aspect to showcase during a program tour.
