Hi.... this infection with you are quoting spreads through droplet infection and fomites and through improper hand washing. So I suggest that you tell the caretakers in the creche to hand wash and maintain hygiene when they are handling multiple kids and at home also you can do the same. Regarding taking care of spread of droplet infection you cannot do much because you do not know which kid has an viral infection.
