Hello Everyone!
I am in the process of opening up my own childcare center. I am working on my plan of operation now. I need an example of a cleaning Schedule. For instance what toys do you wash/ clean during the week, and on what days? What product do you use for cleaning? Who does the cleaning? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Sonya W.

Hi!
I am licensed by my state so I have to use a bleach and water solution for sanitizing toys. I keep a bucket up on the counter (away from little hands!) that has a gallon of cool water and one tablespoon of bleach in it. Any mouthed toys are put in there as soon as the child gives it up
St for 5 minutes then let air dry before being put back in the mix.
At the end of the day toys are sprayed with a bleach/water solution. Air dry and then back in the rotation.
For actual cleaning of toys my schedule is something like this:
Monday - all dress up
Tuesday - all doll houses/accessories
Wednesday - board books, puzzles, manipulatives
Thursday - play kitchen and equipment
Friday - wipe down all surfaces, dust and vacuum (more thorough than the rest of the week)
I make it easy by using the washing machine, and dishwasher when possible and putting them on the sanitize setting (I think it's probably overkill but that's okay
) I put larger toys in the bathtub to wash and let air dry.
I hope this helps!

I run a small home based center. I have a bin to put toys in as they get slobbered on or sneezed on. I have kids that are older so a bin of toxic liquid isn't safe in the same area. I use non toxic cleaner, Seventh Generation. I have all the toys separated into bins and each day we play with a new bin. These leaves me with one bin to sanatize plus the stuff I collected thru out the day. I clean accordingly at the end of the day. I sweep every day, mop each night.
