How have you increased your sanitization of the center?
Future Generation has increased the frequency in which we clean and disinfect toys and equipment. Items that are not easily cleaned have already been removed from the classroom. We ensure that toys are rotated and constantly cleaned to ensure effective germ removal. Each classroom has a separate day during the week in which it will receive a deep cleaning including the carpeting.
