When parents drop off their children at daycare, they expect a safe and healthy environment—one that goes beyond clean floors and age-appropriate toys. What many don’t realize is that
something as invisible as radon gas can pose a serious health risk, especially to young children who are more vulnerable to environmental hazards. In Illinois, lawmakers have taken this threat seriously by requiring all licensed daycare facilities to test for radon on a regular basis. Whether you run a home daycare or a large childcare center, understanding these requirements isn’t just about compliance—it’s about protecting the health of every child who walks through your doors.
