Child-Care & Schools
Protecting the spaces where little ones learn, play, and grow.
Serving preschools, daycares, Head Start programs, and K-6 schools across Northeast Ohio.
We help child-care providers and schools meet lead safety compliance with care, thoroughness, and minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Why Lead Safety Matters Here
Children under 6 are the most vulnerable to lead exposure. Facilities where they spend significant time have specific compliance obligations.
Regulatory Requirements
Facilities where children under 6 spend 6 or more hours per week must meet HUD and Ohio Department of Health lead safety standards.
Thorough Inspections
We assess every surface children interact with — window sills, door frames, floors, walls, and play areas — with careful attention to detail.
Clearance Before Occupancy
Clearance exams must be completed before children can safely occupy a newly renovated or remediated space.
Ongoing Certification
Lead-safe certification requires regular renewal. We help you stay ahead of deadlines so your facility remains in good standing.
Daycare Focus Areas
Licensed daycares receive targeted assessments aligned with ODH and local rules, prioritizing hazard control where children are most at risk.
High-Contact Surfaces
Window sills, door frames, railings, and any painted surface within a child's reach are tested and documented.
Exterior Soil & Play Areas
Outdoor play zones and bare soil near the building are sampled for lead contamination.
Entry & Nap Areas
Entryways where dust tracks in and nap rooms where children rest on the floor get special attention.
