Daycares & child care

Lead-safe testing for the rooms where kids play

Young children are the most at risk from lead dust. If your center, preschool or home daycare is in a building from before 1978, a dust-wipe test shows parents, inspectors and your insurer that it’s safe.

Why daycares test

Children’s health

Lead dust from old paint is invisible and easily swallowed by small children. Testing is the only way to know.

Licensing and compliance

Philadelphia requires a lead-safe or lead-free certificate for a family child care license, filed before the license is issued or renewed. Norristown’s lead law covers child day-care centers. The details.

Parents’ trust

A current lead-safe certificate is something you can show families who ask.

How a daycare visit works

The test is the same dust-wipe method used for rentals: a floor wipe and a windowsill wipe in each room children use, plus a common area and a blank control. It’s quiet, quick and leaves nothing behind, so it can happen before opening, at nap time or after pickup.

Under the 2026 limits (5 µg/ft² for floors, 40 µg/ft² for windowsills), cleaning matters more than ever. Wet-wipe sills and floors the day before, and fix any chipped paint on windows. The prep checklist walks through it.

If a room fails

We tell you which room and which surface, what likely caused it, and how to clean or repair it. The re-test is 20% off.

Common questions

Do you test home-based child care?

Yes. Home daycares in older houses are tested the same way as a rental: floor and windowsill wipes in the rooms children use.

Can you come before or after hours?

Yes. Pick the time of day that works when you request a visit, and add a note about your hours.

Which rooms do you test?

The rooms children use, plus a common area. Tell us the layout when you book and we’ll plan the samples.
