How this product aligns with the EYLF

Encouraging wellbeing, comfort, and independence
The Jalco Hand Sanitiser supports children’s wellbeing by promoting hygiene practices within the early learning environment. By incorporating hand sanitiser into daily routines, educators can encourage children to develop independence in managing their personal hygiene, fostering a sense of responsibility for their own health and safety.

Supporting participation in learning environments
The use of hand sanitiser helps create a safe and healthy learning environment, allowing children to engage in activities with confidence. When children feel secure in their surroundings, they are more likely to participate actively in group interactions and collaborative play, enhancing their overall learning experience.
