Daycare Cleaning Checklist

A clean child care center looks good to prospective families. It also creates a good environment for the kiddos and the teachers. Clean surfaces help prevent the spread of illness, which is common in an early childhood setting.

Achieving a clean space boils down to having a consistent routine for cleaning tasks, as well as the cleaning supplies needed for deep cleaning. There’s a lot to think about when you go to disinfect and sanitize your center, often more than may come to mind, so having a specific cleaning schedule for daily cleaning, weekly cleaning, or monthly cleaning can help your childcare facility keep on track . Changing tables, potty chairs, diaper pails, and high chairs may be the obvious places to start... But also consider countertops, doorknobs, cribs, play areas, light switches, cubbies, linens, nap mats, dress-up clothes, window sills, baseboards, cabinet handles, drinking fountains, trash cans, closets, art supplies, and more. This daycare cleaning checklist will help you stop the spread of germs and ensure that the physical environment is tidy and disinfected on a daily basis.

We suggest printing and framing this daycare cleaning template in a picture frame. This way, you can use a dry erase marker to check your daily tasks and erase them the following morning, so you are able to reuse the same printout every day.
