Control And Prevention

The number of day care centers and home care facilities has steadily increased in the United States. Recent interest has focused on the possible relationship between attendance at child day care facilities and the occurrence of certain infectious diseases. A variety of infectious agents have been reported as causes of illness among children and staff in day care programs. In general, however, concurrent risks for these infections among children attending and those not attending day care programs have not been established by prospective studies. A review is made of the pathogens that have been associated with infections in day care settings, patterns of occurrence of infectious diseases in day care facilities, aspects of control and prevention of these diseases, and controversies related to infectious diseases in child day care facilities. Aspects of this problem that warrant further research are outlined.

National statistics clearly point to a continuing rise in the demand for child day-care and preschool facilities, so it is essential that we provide children with a place to go during the day where they can be cared for, learn, and be protected from environmental hazards while being given the greatest benefit of high-quality and safe buildings. Through awareness of environmental hazards and integration of this awareness into their designs, architects can greatly contribute to such safe and stimulating environments.9

The importance of disease surveillance and outbreak-control activities in child day-care settings has been detailed as part of the American Public Health Association/American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines for out-of-home day-care programs.14 Aggressive assessment of outbreaks will continue to provide critical information needed to prevent and control diseases and other adverse health events in day-care facilities.
