Comfort and Joy

Comfort and Joy Greetings! I’m Mistina, the enthusiastic founder of Comfort and Joy. Thank you for stopping by our page!

At Comfort and Joy Child Development Center, our mission is to provide quality care and teach through play, creating a fun, playful, and caring environment that nurtures and inspires children's growth and development. With a Mastery certificate in Early Childhood Education and Administration from OSU-OKC, I’ve transformed my home into a warm and welcoming haven for busy families. A little about me: I’m a proud mother of six and have dedicated three years to childcare, focusing on nurturing infants and toddlers. There’s nothing more fulfilling than watching these little one's blossom into imaginative and spirited individuals. In 2023, I was thrilled to be named a Top 3 People's Choice Finalist for the Licensed Childcare Association Artist of the Year at the LCCA Champion Gala, where I also received the Making a Difference Award for my contributions to the Oklahoma Childcare Industry. In 2024, I was honored to be among the top 5 for Infant Teacher of the Year. While I cherished my time at a larger center and the variety of age groups, I yearned for a more personal environment where I could connect with families in my own home. Keep an eye out for exciting posts brimming with creative ideas to spark art and learning through sensory play and exploration!

👉🏽Facts About Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD)

HFMD is caused by a virus.
It spreads through coughs, sneezes, and touching things.
Kids under 5 get it most often.
Symptoms include fever, mouth sores, and a rash on hands and feet.
Most cases heal in 7-10 days, but severe cases take longer.

👇🏼Tips to Clean and Stop the Spread

Wash hands often with soap and water.
Clean toys, doorknobs, and surfaces daily.
Don’t share cups, utensils, or towels.
Stay home if sick to avoid spreading it.
Use disinfectant wipes on high-touch areas.

👇🏼Myths About HFMD

Myth: Only kids get it.
Fact: Adults can get it too, but it’s less common.

Myth: You can get it from animals.
Fact: HFMD only spreads between people.

👇🏼Where Can Kids Get HFMD?

Child care programs and schools (close contact with others).
Playgrounds (shared toys and surfaces).
Public places (stores, parks, etc.).
At home (from family members who are sick).

👇🏼How to Help Kids with HFMD

Relieve Pain: Use acetaminophen or ibuprofen (ask a doctor first).
Hydrate: Offer water, milk, or cold drinks. Avoid acidic drinks.
Soothe Sores: Give soft, cool foods like yogurt or ice pops.
Rest: Keep kids home until fever and symptoms are gone.
Watch for Dehydration: Call a doctor if they can’t drink

👉🏼Does It Mean You’re Dirty?

No, getting HFMD doesn’t mean you’re dirty. It spreads easily, even if you’re clean. Kids catch it because they touch everything and often put hands or toys in their mouths. Good hygiene helps, but it’s not always enough to stop the virus.
