Antabax is partnering with pre-school R.E.A.L Kids to equip children, teachers and staff with Antabax care kits for on-the-go personal hygiene, and creative education materials to raise understanding of the dos and don’ts of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD).
Through the partnership, the antibacterial personal care brand hopes to reduce the risk of HFMD among children at the preschool as the contagious illness usually affects children below 5 years of age.
Antabax marketing manager Chua Su Fee said the brand is committed to providing regular education and continuous access to strengthen healthy and hygienic habits, and creating a healthier and cleaner community.
“Through Antabax product solutions, we trust that parents and teachers play an important role in teaching children to wash or sanitize their hands frequently before and after eating and going to the toilet; as well as after group activities or touching suspect surfaces; and avoid sharing water bottles, food or toys and touching other children.
“Provide your child with their own sanitizer and show them how to use it, and when to use it too! Clean hands keep us safe,” said Chua.
Antabax will be sharing educational materials and tips on reducing the spread of HFMD, which will be distributed to all REAL Kids students nationwide. Content includes creative discussion and activities sheets for students developed by teachers and caregivers on reducing the risk of HFMD.
The brand continues its role as an enabler to encourage parents, students and teachers to get back in action by emphasizing good personal hygiene practices, which is in-line with its #BaxInAction theme.
The brand will be contributing its products including antibacterial sanitizer spray, bar soap and antibacterial wipes that can eradicate 99.9% of germs and give parents peace of mind about their child’s hygiene.
“We would remind parents to reinforce good hygiene behavior at home, and to wipe down their little ones’ belongings to reduce the spread. Always remind your child to keep their hands away from their mouth, and if they are unwell do not send them to school but take them to a clinic or hospital for diagnosis,” said REAL Kids operations manager Ng Ming-yan.
R.E.A.L Kids is the country’s largest owner-operated kindergarten chain with 45 centres and 3,600 students nationwide. The preschool under REAL (Results Enhancing through Active Learning) offers interactive learning education which include a host of enrichment lessons and extra-curricular activities, and adhered to KSPK (National Preschool Curriculum Standard) and International Preschool Standards.
