Children should not share hats, combs, hairbrushes, or hair ornaments. Doing so can spread infection or parasites such as lice. Children can have their own hairbrushes and store them in their personal cubby or in another area.
If you have an outbreak of lice at your center, immediately clean and disinfect the space near and around the area of parasitic contamination. The dress-up clothing in the role-playing area should also be cleaned and disinfected. You will want to limit the use of hats during the outbreak.
Check with your DEL health specialist or public health department for useful suggestions. You might also want to re-examine your procedures for storing bedding, hanging coats and keeping extra clothes. Make sure these are not contributing to the spread of parasites.
