T
he Diversity Award is presented to
an exceptional individual or team of
volunteers bringing services/programs to
underserved populations—those who are
vulnerable or disadvantaged by language,
disability, cultural or economic hardship.
A cash prize is awarded to the nominee(s)’
designated non-profit organization.
T
his year the volunteer Parents, Providers
and Program Committee was nominated
for, and was chosen to receive, the Diversity
Award.
T
he Parents, Providers, and Program
(PPP) Committee was formed in 2006 in
an effort to involve West County parents and child care
providers in program and resources development for
the benefit of children living in west Sonoma County.
There are about thirty active families in this group.
The children are also participants, working alongside
parents in their fundraising and advocacy efforts.
T
he members of this volunteer group meet monthly
to share a meal while discussing issues that effect
children in west Sonoma County. They meet with
community leaders, developing parent advocacy and
leadership skills. A group of 30 parents and children
went to Sacramento in July for the “Un-Fair Rally”
to advocate for keeping children’s programs in the
State budget. They fundraise to support programs and
Mission Statement:
T
he PPP Committee members have been active
participants and fundraisers in the Human Race and
food booths at River community events. Money raised
has gone to provide swim lessons for children and their
parents (mostly Latino) who live along the Russian
River. Water safety for Latino families was an issue that
the PPP parents targeted to address. Funds raised have
also helped keep kinder gym going, provided books
for the Young Readers program, and bought car safety
seats. Through fundraising and volunteering in the
office and learning to advocate for children’s program
support, these volunteers have learned that they can
make a difference for the good in their communities.
CONGRATULATIONS!!
Our mission is to nurture the healthy development of
children and parents in our community. We offer resources, referrals and support
to families and child care providers in western Sonoma County.
What is TrustLine?
TrustLine is California’s registry of in-home child care providers,
tutors and in-home counselors who have passed a background
screening. It was created by the California Legislature in 1987 and
is a powerful resource for parents hiring a nanny or baby-sitter.
All caregivers listed with TrustLine have been cleared through
a fingerprint check of records at the California Department
of Justice. This means they have no disqualifying criminal
convictions or substantiated child abuse reports in California.
TrustLine is administered by the California Department of Social
Services and the non-profit Child Care Resource and Referral
Network.
¿Qué es TrustLine?
TrustLine es el registro de California para los proveedores de
cuidado infantil en su hogar quienes han aprobado la investigación
de antecedentes. Fue creada por la Ley de California en 1987 y
es una poderosa fuente para padres quienes están contratando a
una niñera o baby-sitter. Todas las cuidadoras de niños que están
en TrustLine han sido aprobadas por medio de la investigación
de registro de huellas digitales en el Departamento de Justicia
de California. Esto significa que no tienen condenas criminales
que las descalifican o informes de abuso infantil comprobados.
TrustLine está administrada por el Departamento de Servicios
Sociales de California y la Red de Recursos y Referencias de
Cuidado Infantil que opera sin fines de lucro.

Stop the Spread of Germs in Schools,
Fast Facts
• Approximately 1/5 of the U.S. population attends or
works in schools. (U.S. Dept of Ed, 1999).
• Some viruses and bacteria can live from 20 minutes
up to 2 hours or more on surfaces like cafeteria
tables, doorknobs, and desks. (Ansari, 1988; Scott and
Bloomfield, 1989)
• Nearly 22 million school days are lost annually due to
the common cold alone. (CDC, 1996)
• Addressing the spread of germs in schools is essential
to the health of our youth, our schools, and our
nation.
• Students need to get
plenty of sleep and physical
activity, drink water, and eat
good food to help them stay
healthy in the winter and all
year.
Seasonal Flu Information for Schools &
Childcare Providers Educators and staff can
help slow the spread of colds and flu. On this page, you
will find more information on preventing the flu, as well
as, materials and tools for schools.
Each year an average of 20,000 children under the age of
5 are hospitalized because of flu-related complications.
Influenza causes more hospitalizations among young
children than any other vaccine-preventable disease.
The single best way to protect against seasonal flu and
its potential severe complications is for children to get a
seasonal influenza vaccine each year. Flu vaccination is
recommended for all children aged 6 months and older.
Making healthy choices at school and at home can help
prevent the flu and spreading flu to others.
Ask children to:
• Cover their nose and mouth with a tissue when they
cough or sneeze—have them throw the tissue away
after they use it.
• Wash their hands often with soap and water, especially
after they cough or sneeze. If water is not near, use
an alcohol-based hand rub.
• Avoid touching their eyes, nose, or mouth. Germs
spread this way.
How Germs Spread
The main way that illnesses like colds and flu are spread
is from person to person in respiratory droplets of coughs
and sneezes. This is called “droplet spread.”
This can happen when droplets from a cough or sneeze of
an infected person move through the air and are deposited
on the mouth or nose of people nearby. Sometimes germs
also can be spread when a person touches respiratory
droplets from another person on a surface like a desk
and then touches his or her own eyes, mouth or nose
before washing their hands. We know that some viruses
and bacteria can live 2 hours or longer on surfaces like
cafeteria tables, doorknobs, and desks.
How to Stop the Spread of Germs
In a nutshell:
• Take care to cover your mouth and nose
• Clean your hands often
• Remind your children to practice healthy habits, too
• Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing
• Cough or sneeze into a tissue and then throw it away.
Cover your cough or sneeze if you do not have a
tissue. Then, clean your hands, and do so every time
you cough or sneeze.
The “Happy Birthday” song helps keep your hands
clean?
Not exactly. Yet we recommend that when you wash your
hands -- with soap and warm water -- that you wash for
15 to 20 seconds. That’s about the same time it takes to
sing the “Happy Birthday” song twice!
Alcohol-Based Hand Wipes and Gel Sanitizers Work
Too
When soap and water are not available, alcohol-based
disposable hand wipes or gel sanitizers may be used. You
can find them in most supermarkets and drugstores. If
using gel, rub your hands until the gel is dry. The gel
doesn’t need water to work; the alcohol in it kills the
germs on your hands.*

Gripe
Estacional
Información
para
Proveedores de Cuidado de Niños y Escuelas
de Educadores y el personal puede ayudar a frenar
la propagación de los resfriados y la gripe. En esta página
usted encontrará más información sobre cómo prevenir la
gripe, así como, materiales y herramientas para las escuelas.
Cada año un promedio de 20.000 niños menores de
5 años son hospitalizados debido a complicaciones
relacionadas con la gripe. La gripe causa más
hospitalizaciones entre los niños pequeños que cualquier
otra enfermedad prevenible por vacunación. La mejor
manera de proteger se contra la gripe estacional y sus
complicaciones pontenciamente graves es que los niños
obtengan una vacuna la gripe estacional cada año. La
vacunación contra la gripe se recomienda para todos los
niños de 6 meses y mayores. Hacer elecciones saludables
en la escuela y en casa puede ayudar a prevenir la
gripe y la propagación de la gripe a otras personas.
Pida a los niños:
• Cúbrise la nariz y la boca con un pañuelo desechable
al toser o estornudar-y tire el pañuelo después de
usarlo.
• Lave sus manos frecuentemente con agua y jabón,
especialmente después de toser o estornudar. Si no
hay agua cerca, use un desinfectante para manos a
base de alcohol.
• Evite tocarse los ojos, la nariz o la boca. Los gérmenes
se propagan de esta manera.
¿Cómo se propagan los gérmenes
La principal forma de que las enfermedades como
resfriados y gripes se propagan es de persona a
persona en las gotitas respiratorias de la tos y los
estornudos. Esto se llama “propagación por gotitas”.
Esto puede suceder cuando las gotitas de la tos o el
estornudo de una persona infectada se desplazan por el
aire y se depositan en la boca o nariz de las personas
cercanas. A veces, los gérmenes también pueden
propagarse cuando una persona toca las gotitas
respiratorias de otra persona en una superficie
como un escritorio ya continuación se
toca sus propios ojos, boca o nariz antes
de lavarse las manos. Sabemos que algunos virus y
bacterias pueden vivir 2 horas o más en superficies como
mesas de cafeterías, manijas de puertas y escritorios.
Cómo detener la propagación de germens en pocas
palabras:
• tener cuidado de
Cúbrise la boca y la nariz
• Lavarse frecuentemente las manos
• Recuerde a sus hijos practicar hábitos de higiene
• Cúbrase la boca y la nariz al toser o estornudar
• Tosa o estornude en un pañuelo y luego tirarlo a la
basura
• Cúbrase al toser o estornudar si no tiene un
pañuelo. Luego, lávese las manos, y hágalo cada vez
que tosa o estornude.
La concion de “Cumpleaños feliz” ayuda a mantener
las manos limpias?
No exactamente. Sin embargo, se recomienda que al lavarse
las manos - con agua tibia y jabón - se lave las manos de 15
a 20 segundos. Eso es aproximadamente el mismo tiempo
que se tarda en cantar el “Feliz Cumpleaños” dos veces!
Toallitas para las manos a base de alcohol y el gel
desinfectante tambien ayuda..
Cuando el jabón y el agua no están disponibles, toallitas
húmedas con alcohol o gel desinfectante para las manos
puede ser utilizado. Usted puede encontrarlos en la
mayoría de supermercados y farmacias. Si usa gel, frótese
las manos hasta que el gel se seque. El gel no necesita agua
para trabajar, el alcohol mata los gérmenes en sus manos .*

Detener la propagación de gérmenes en las
escuelas, Resumen
• Aproximadamente 1 / 5 de la población de EE.UU. asiste a
o trabaja en escuelas. (Departamento de Estados Unidos de
Ed, 1999).
• Algunos virus y bacterias pueden vivir de20 minutos hasta 2
horas o más en superficies como mesas de cafeterías, manijas
de puertas y escritorios. (Ansari, 1988; Scott y Bloomfield,
1989)
• Casi 22 millones de días escolares se pierden cada año
debido al resfriado común. (CDC, 1996)
• Detener la propagación de gérmenes en las escuelas es
esencial para la salud de nuestros jóvenes, nuestras escuelas,
y nuestra nación.
• Los estudiantes necesitan dormir mucho y practicar
actividad física, beber agua y comer alimentos saludables
que les ayuden a mantenerse sanos en el invierno y todo el
año

What Causes Tooth Decay?
T
ooth decay (cavities and/or rotted teeth) is caused by
bacteria on the tooth. The condition is worsened when
a child’s teeth are exposed to sugary liquids, formula,
soda, sports drinks, fruit juices or milk for a period of time.
Putting a baby to bed with a bottle, or giving her a juicefilled sippy cup is a major culprit.
T
ooth decay causes discomfort and makes it difficult for
your child to chew food, sleep, pay attention in class
and at home. Untreated tooth decay on baby teeth can
cause serious damage to the permanent (adult) teeth. It’s
important that you brush and floss your child’s teeth twice
a day.
Try These Instead:
Fresh Fruit & Diluted Juice
Sugar-Free Gum with Xylitol
Water
What Can PDI Help Me With?
1. Enroll
A Case Manager will work with you to ensure your child is
enrolled in an insurance program if available.
2. Coordination
A Case Manager schedules your child’s surgery appointment,
and discusses important pre-op instructions.
3. Transportation
If needed, a Case Manager helps arrange transportation to
and/or from the surgery center.
4. Educate
A Case Manager will give you oral heath educational tools
and a PDI “Goodie Bucket” to help prevent future tooth
decay.

¿Cuales Son las Causas de la Caries Dentales?
L
a caries dental es causada por bacterias en los dientes.
Esta condición empeora cuando los dientes del niño
están expuestos a los líquidos con azúcar como la leche,
fórmula, soda y jugos de fruta embotellada por un largo
periodo de tiempo. Poner a dormir a su bebé con la botella
de leche o una tasita con chupete es la mayor causa de
éste problema.
