Eco-Healthy Child Care Award Given to Cindy’s Kids                             

Research increasingly shows that the first years of a child’s life are critical to shaping their future health and development. As a childcare provider at Cindy’s Kids, small changes can have a big impact on the children in our care. By reducing toxins at Cindy’s Kids we may help to prevent conditions like asthma, developmental disabilities, and even some forms of cancer.

We teach children to recycle and reuse.    We use our own compost and worm farm for our gardening.  We teach the children to separate recyclables as a daily habit.                                 

We reuse items for our crafts and projects.  Amazon brings the best toys (Boxes).
