Brilliance Preschool and Academy, a preschool and private school located in Addison, Texas has recently announced a new intuitive to help prevent the spread of the H1N1, more commonly known as the swine flu.
With this new program the school hopes to combat the spread of the disease before it can be transmitted through direct contact. While the Dallas School district has been beset with a rash of new outbreaks and with children being among the easiest to contract or spread the disease, more comprehensive measures are needed to maintain a safe environment. For the week of October 4-10, 11 flu-related pediatric deaths were reported; 10 of these deaths were confirmed 2009 H1N1. Brilliance Preschool and Academy works to make sure that their new preventative measures will ensure a safe and productive learning environment.
Brilliance Preschool and Academy has several tools at their disposal to combat the spread of H1N1. Parents are encouraged to wash their hands before and after entering the school. In every bathroom there is a hand washing guide for the children to follow and throughout the day teachers and administrators use Lysol and other cleaning products to maintain a germ free environment. In every classroom teachers clean and wipe up after any type of use by the children. After hours while the school is closed, janitors come to clean and sanitize everything by using disinfecting spray and a combination of bleach and water to guarantee a level of safety when the parents and children return in the morning. Brilliance’s dedication to preventing the spread of illnesses further strengthens their commitment to providing an excellent learning center.

In developing its methodology, Brilliance curriculum has taken into account the importance of a child’s early formative years, the cognitive phases of a child’s development, the benefits of learning through concrete experiences, and the evaluation of the eight intelligences as presented by educator Howard Gardner.
