Core Tip	Acute respiratory tract infections remain a major health concern among children in day care centers. Effective and practical prevention tools are therefore essential. This study demonstrates that the proposed protocol significantly reduces infection incidence. Its adoption may offer a simple, evidence-based approach to improving child health and strengthening infection prevention practices in day care settings.
