The challenge that I face is making children try variety of food, especially the healthy food such as salad.

One issue that I often face is getting the children to wash their hand appropriately. They like to just swish with a little water and then run off to play. They don't want to take the time to properly lather and scrub the germs.

Trouble I have is the different variety of foods is a challenge because they don't have any interest in tasting new foods.

the hardest part for me is making sure all the children wash their hands before eating

Making sure all of the children are in fact washing their hands with soap.

Hand washing throughout the day, especially for myself. We do not have a sink in our classroom so we cannot always wash when we should, but use sanitizer instead.

I struggle so much with proper handwashing techniques. Washing my own hands as often as I should is no problem. But when you have 21 toddlers and need to wash hands after playing outside and then before and after all meals and diaper changes, it because overwhelming.

hand washing is hard for everyone but getting the children to wash in the proper order sequence is challenging let alone having them and me stand there for 20seconds. remembering to have them wash at all the different times during the day is challenging when you have so many children.

Shelby Collins

Agreed! I always remember before eating but always forget the after!

I think every center has their own rules and regulation and all the stuff have knowledge about food handling. Also we usually have teachers meeting and go through all this main lines to make sure I and all are doing the correct way.
storage food to the correct temperatures, safety prepared, and the most struggle with children is to keep in track the way they wash their hands.
we sing a song that takes about the 20 seconds to make sure they wash their hands correct.

I see my biggest issue is not getting them to wash hand but getting them to wash long enough

Lawrence Witkowski

I find washing hands is difficult because with 15 kids under my care. I need them to all do it on a tight schedule and wash my hands as well. We get it done, but it can be chaotic

Washing everyone's, or all the kids, hands and supervising kids who are done at the same time. Our facility is a family home childcare so the floor plan is restricted

I think the biggest struggle is trying to get the kids to try a variety of foods. They mostly love fruit and hate vegetables. They also resist if we change the menu and offer a new lunch.

Hand washing properly is always challenging. Monitoring is always needed.

Alicia Corrigan

The one I have the most trouble implementing would be in regards to hand washing! The kids in my class are really great about washing their hands regularly, but I do have trouble getting them to use the soap to lather for 20 seconds and in between fingers and underneath finger nails.

Suzanne K. Austin

Handwashing is a problem if nobody is available to monitor. They don't like to take the time to do it so we sing.

With so many children waiting to wash their hands, I have trouble making sure they are washing with soap and drying with a paper towel.

Handwashing properly is a little difficult to implement. Occasionally, my kids won't wash their hands for the full 20 seconds, but I found that singing a song helps them remember.

Patricia Helde

I would have to say that getting children to eat a variety of healthy foods is the most difficult to implement.

Rachel

Washing hands after eating. Also getting children to come and sit down to eat, I have so many picky eaters that could go all day not eating anything.

One of the challenges in our preschool class is to properly wash their hands. The children like to wash but really just let the soap run off their hands without scrubbing.

Providing a healthy and different variety of snacks throughout the day

Maria Kemple

Our center seems to have a hard time with parents bringing in previously cooked food, or wanting to make home cooked goodies for the whole school. We also are trying to monitor hand washing of all the students to the level they need to maintain (20 second scrub with bubbles, etc...) and encouraging parents to implement the practice of washing hands before every meal at home as well.

Danny Nelson

Like most here, handwashing is tough and time consuming to do it right. Also, while I keep trying, some healthy foods I serve just go to waste.

Parents provide main meals (I provide snacks and milk). Ensuring that parents put their childrens foods in correct type of microwave safe containers (when needed), ensuring ice packs in each lunch box (or moving the items necessary to the fridge if the ice pack is missing or one that doesnt last at least 4-5 hours.
It is getting better, however I am still very watchful of this!!

Hand washing often and spending the time to do it correctly

Ryan Turner

Hand washing. Not so much how to wash hands, our kids are pretty great at that, but the sheer amount of hand washing that is required. When the kids are dropped off in the morning, whenever we come in from outside, after every time they eat or drink, after every single diaper change, let alone if their hands just get dirty. And then the teacher have to wash their hands about double that amount. It seems like the state just wants us washing our hands all day!

Hand washing seems to be the hardest one, always reminding the kids to wash their hands after going to the bathroom.

The main challenge I have as I'm sure many child care providers have is making sure you have all the conponents for the snack or meal. Veggies is the hardest.

Children washing their hands correctly because sometimes they rush it in order to get to lunch first.

Sally Straight

Our staff is diligent with hand washing procedures with all of our children. Our difficulty is implementing the rule for all parents/guardians to assist their child and siblings with hand washing when they first enter our preschool to help prevent the spread of germs

the challenge to changes in children's eating habits and food preferences at different ages.

Giving the right balance of food. Since the food pyramid is focusing on healthy carbohydrates it is hard to figure out healthy carbs the children would eat. Sugar in processed food or yogurt/flavored milk/juice is another issue. As these food do have calcium and kids have it at home but the sugar is so high that it is hard to let kids have these foods.

What’s tricky is getting some of the children to try new foods during snack time .

Trying to keep little ones hands washed. They are always putting their fingers in their mouths and then touching toys. It is a never ending battle but one that is manageable.

The biggest challenge is children trying new food during snack and lunch. But the kids love washing their hands before and after lunch and snack, it is build into the routine so they know what to do and when to expect it.

One is hand washing. It is a constant struggle to make sure all the children have washed their hand well during transition like coming in from outside. With vigilance we are always trying to make sure all have washed well. The other challenge to get them eat their lunch in timely fashion. We have 30 to 45 min. Still it is very difficult.

Washing hands correctly. We have children who like to play. Put soap on wash soap off, over and over.
