HEALTHY HOUSING

Indoor Health

Children Playing There are countless complex chemicals and compounds used in the home today which are questionable for the health of the environment. Unfortunately they also have no way of being proved safe for humans.

Many products, such as household cleaners and detergents, deodorizers, personal hygiene products, plastics, household hazardous products (pesticides, solvents, lubricants, etc.), among others have potential long-term health implications, especially for children, who are still in the complex process of development.

Simple alternatives, often using old-fashioned approaches, can simplify the way we do things, save money and most importantly, help protect the long-term health of your baby, family and the environment. These talks are a real treat for us and we look forward to an opportunity to meet you and your children.

Contact us or your nearest healthy baby program for more information.
