[The EHCC endorsement] is something that can make a big difference and is easily doable. The health and safety of children in my home is of utmost importance.
To create a child care setting that is environmentally healthy as possible. Being EHCC endorsed allows parents to choose our child care facility because of our commitment to creating a safer, healthier environment for their children to learn and grow.
I was excited that there was a program that recognized the importance of early childhood programs and schools being eco-friendly.
We want to provide the best environment for our children in care. It is a great practice for our childcare home, and it also teaches the children the rewards in being Environmentally Healthy.
We became endorsed to provide children with a safe and healthy learning environment. We also wish to convey to parent volunteers the importance of a non-toxic classroom environment and encourage their commitment to adherence to these practices.
We feel that this this process and training apparatus will help early childhood learning environments to be a healthy, safe and green as possible by reducing children's exposure to toxic chemicals. When the environment is healthier it creates healthier kids!
