Discussion

Are there other state best practices that should be known about?

Can we offer summary views from key stakeholders: Daycare Operator Daycare Licensing Agency Environmental Agencies Parents

What are the typical local land use permits (e.g., city permits, zoning permits), as opposed to state licenses, required for daycare operations?

Discussion - Continued

Can we compare the challenge of school sites to daycare sites?

Can we identify other examples, other than Kiddie Kollege, of unacceptable exposure at daycare to environmental contaminants?

Which exposure pathways are critical or hold a priority toward daycare exposure.

What is the message to parents as it relates to daycare toxic risk?
