Lead-Safe Toolkit for Child Care

THERE IS NO SAFE LEVEL OF LEAD IN A CHILD'S BLOOD.

The Lead-Safe Toolkit for Child Care can help child care providers (home and center-based) reduce lead hazards. Lead can be found in water, paint, soil, dust, and is commonly found in consumer products.

The FREE Toolkit offers a range of resources including a poster and worksheets that provide easy-to-follow steps for finding out if lead hazards exist within a child care facility and what to do to reduce exposures.

The Toolkit is available in English and Spanish.

Toolkit Contents:

  • Poster for display in the child care facility.
  • List of science-based, user-friendly lead prevention resources.
  • Lead prevention policies and worksheets, with easy-to-follow steps for finding out if lead hazards exist in the child care and what to do to reduce any exposures.

 

The Lead-Safe Toolkit for Child Care was developed with input from child care professionals and lead prevention experts under the guidance of the Children’s Environmental Health Network, the National Center for Healthy Housing, and the National Association of Family Child Care.
