Serious injuries, including broken bones and amputations, can occur if a child's finger or hand is crushed between the hinge area of the door and the door jamb. An automatic door closer can slow down the door as it closes. It may not help prevent entrapment at the hinge side of the door. Glass doors should have shatterproof or wired glass. It is a flexible strip that covers the space between the door and the door jamb on the hinge side of the door.
Children are then unable to insert their fingers into the space.
Preschoolers learn by doing, so hands-on activities are most appropriate. Art projects, songs, games, stories, field trips, role playing, food models, and puzzles are a some appropriate activities. Tell parents what you are teaching their children. Invite them to visit the program and participate in hands-on nutrition activities. Provide take-home activities related to nutrition.
