Pesticides and Pest Prevention
1.We use non-toxic techniques both inside and outside the facility toprevent and control pests (both insects and weeds).If a serious threat remains and pesticide application is the only viable option, parents are notified in advance and a licensed professional applies the least toxic, effective product at a time when children will not be exposed to the application area for at least 12 hours. required
Household Chemicals
6. We use biodegradable, non-toxic cleaning products and least toxic disinfecting products. When other products are required, they are used only for their intended purpose in strict accordance with all label instructions. We store cleaning products where children cannot access them.
7. We only use chlorine bleach when and where it is required or recommended by state and local authorities. We use it prudently and never use more than necessary.
