How to prevent choking hazards in young children while eating:

Some foods are easy for your preschooler to choke on when swallowing them.

These include foods that are round and about the size of the throat –about the size of a nickel. Prevent choking by avoiding these foods or cutting them in small pieces--no larger than one-half inch (½”).

Foods that may be choking hazards:

*Peanuts
*Chewing gum
*Popcorn
*Chips
*Round slices of hotdogs or sausages
*Carrot sticks or baby carrots
*Tough meat
*Hard candy
*Whole grapes
*Cherry tomatoes
*Large pieces of raw fruits and vegetables

To prevent choking:

**Have your preschooler eat at the table, or at least while sitting down. Do not let your child run, walk, play, or lie down with food in their mouth.
**Keep a watchful eye on your child while he or she eats.
**Cut food for your preschooler into pieces no larger than one-half inch (½”), and teach them to chew their food well.
**Slice hotdogs and sausages lengthwise.
**Cut meat and chicken across the grain into small pieces.
**Slice grapes, cherry tomatoes, and other round foods in half.
**Cook carrots or celery sticks until slightly soft, grate them, or cut them into small pieces or thin “matchsticks.”
**Spread peanut butter thinly on bread or crackers. A thick “glob” of peanut butter can cause choking.

Hello, parents.

Monday, January 27th, Chicago Public Schools will be closed.

I will remain open but I will not provide pick up/drop off services of any kind. While I strongly advise children (and parents alike) stay in during these extreme temperatures, I will also advise that you use your own discretion in deciding whether to send your children to daycare.

I will update you on my service status when additional information is received regarding the weather. In the meantime, please stay warm and be safe.

Take care
~Chanel
