Starting Point is proud to serve as the lead agency for the Lead Safe Child Care Program in partnership with the Lead Safe Cleveland Coalition. Together, we are strengthening providers, supporting families, and driving systemic change across Cleveland through the creation of healthier learning environments.
All program participants receive access to vetted Lead Safe Workers and grant funding to cover lead remediation work, along with step-by-step support.
THE WORK CONTINUES
What began as a pilot is now a proven, scalable solution for reducing Cleveland’s childhood lead exposure rates — one that strengthens providers, supports families, and improves early learning outcomes.
The Lead Safe Child Care Program isn’t only continuing, it’s growing. With dozens of new sites entering the process each year, we’re building a citywide model for safe, healthy early learning.
Together, we’re closing gaps in health, education, and opportunity by ensuring every Cleveland child can learn in a Lead Safe environment.
