Toot~a~Lou Family Daycare celebrates 10 ++ years as a California Certified Green Business and Eco-Healthy Child Care (EHCC) --- we are the only home-base in Contra Costa County and one of a few in the state.
Established in 2004, it is our belief that we, our children, and our planet are all part of one system that deserves care.
Being a Green Business means we take steps to conserve resources and prevent pollution. These steps are verified in-person by local agency representatives.
There are numerous program requirements that we adhere to, and some examples of our actions include:
- Using non-toxic cleaning and pest control products
- Eating healthy foods
- Reusing materials for various projects
- Reducing energy and water use through efficient fixtures
Among many others! These actions amount to an efficient
and healthy setting here at Toot~a~Lou, and they are just
a part of the responsible and caring environment we can
offer to your child.
