How to help your caregiver with this topic

• Offer your time, talent and resources to start projects such as developing an organic garden to get children and caregivers involved in grounds maintenance. A program like this not only reduces the need for dangerous chemicals, it offers many educational possibilities.



• Organize a fund raiser (or volunteer brigades) to do upgrades or repairs if needed. Budgets may be tight.



• Find out what your program’s policy and practices are on pest and weed management. Suggest alternatives if it seems overly reliant on toxic substances.
