Choose Safe Places for Early Care and Education

We help early care and education programs choose locations safe from environmental hazards.

Our mission is to prevent environmental exposures among children and staff in Massachusetts child care programs and promote health equity by helping providers choose safe locations through resources, education, and property screening. This website provides tools and resources to help child care providers learn about environmental health and DPH’s free services.

This program is funded by the US Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry.
