The Environmental Health Department's child care programs include sanitation inspections for child care centers, lead poisoning prevention program, and a healthy home initiative for children's health.
Healthy Homes is a nationwide program that examines all components inside and outside the home, and/or environmental issues that may specifically affect children where they reside.
The lead poisoning prevention program is a state sponsored program that has a primary purpose of protecting children under the age of six from being exposed to lead- based paint and other lead –bearing hazards.
