Did you know that young children are more sensitive to toxic chemicals than adults? Chemicals like lead, radon, and air pollution can affect a child's health for life.

When choosing a childcare facility, it's worth asking whether the building has been checked for chemical hazards. Older buildings, nearby businesses, and even the land a facility sits on can all be sources of harmful chemicals.

The ADH Choose Safe Places program helps childcare facilities check their properties for these risks, so parents can feel confident about where their child spends their day.
