to Growing Up Healthy
In 2014, Grayson, a two-year old attending HWCEC was diagnosed with non-hereditary leukemia. Could this be linked to exposure to toxicants in everyday products? Toxics are in a majority of the products we use every day and in building materials, and most chemicals in use have never been independently tested for safety. Armed with this information, it was time to design a first of its kind: a healthy child care campus focused on eliminating toxicants and chemicals for the health of young children. As a result, we are the first healthy early childhood campus in the nation. We will also share our knowledge and understanding of why these chemicals are problematic and how providers can reduce exposures through best practices, such as wiping feet at entrance ways and opening windows, so the facility can be healthily maintained in perpetuity.
