Chapter 1

How to explain a Custodian to your child

A custodian takes care of a building, like a school, an office or a shop. They push a cart filled with a mop, a broom, spray bottles and fresh paper towels. They sweep the floors, wipe the tables, empty the bins and polish the door handles until they shine. For example, if someone spills juice in the hallway, the custodian comes with a mop and makes the floor clean and dry again.

When a custodian has finished, the building is ready for everyone. Children can walk on dry floors, wash their hands at a sink with soap, and sit at clean tables. If a light flickers or a door sticks, the custodian notices it and fixes it, or tells the right person. A place that is looked after feels comfortable, so people can play, learn and work there.
