Indoor Air Quality Monitoring Systems for Child Care
Program overview
Southwest Child Care Resource & Referral (CCR&R) has designed its Clean Air for Children Program across Southwest Michigan, a groundbreaking initiative dedicated to improving indoor air quality in childcare environments while fostering community-wide health and resiliency.
By prioritizing licensed home-based childcare programs in underserved communities, we will bring validated air quality solutions and educational resources to those most impacted by climate change and public health disparities, addressing air quality challenges and creating healthier spaces for children to breathe, learn, and thrive.
Join our journey towards cleaner indoor air for the state of Michigan.
Our program’s goals
Enhance childhood health and safety
Our program strives to safeguard children health by addressing indoor air quality challenges through validated solutions, creating safer, healthier learning environments during early child development.
Simplify complex topics and data
Through our interactive data dashboard, we take complex air quality data and simplify it through easy-to-understand visualizations, applicable health practices, concise alerts, and shareable materials – all to guide healthier everyday living.
Empower childcare providers
We hope to empower childcare providers through unbiased data and targeted resources to enhance their environments, ensuring the utmost safety and comfort for children and staff and fostering brighter futures for all.
Increase accessibility to knowledge
Everyone deserves to breathe clean air. That is why we plan to build greater knowledge and awareness of air quality and its impact on our health, safety, and environment among our community, doing so through public data sharing, resources, and events.
