Early learning
ELRC-Compliant Child Care Cleaning
Child care is the one facility type where cleaning is a licensing issue, not just an appearance issue.
An early learning center gets inspected on things most cleaning companies never think about: whether sanitizer is used at the right concentration on food surfaces, whether the diapering area is disinfected on the right cycle, whether mouthed toys are handled separately.
We clean centers with those requirements in mind, so your program isn’t fixing cleaning problems during an inspection. If your provider doesn’t know what an ELRC is, they’re cleaning your building like it’s an office.

How it runs
Requirements-aware, not generic
Scope is built around Pennsylvania DHS child care facility requirements and CDC guidance for group care settings.
Products appropriate for children
Sanitizers and disinfectants selected for use in occupied child care space, applied and rinsed per label where required.
Documented cycles
The high-frequency items are on a written cycle, so you can show an inspector what happens and when.
Scheduled around your program
Service runs after the last pickup or before the first drop-off — never around children in the room.
Common questions
Does this make our center compliant?
Cleaning is one part of compliance, and it’s the part we can take off your plate. We build scope and frequency around Pennsylvania DHS child care requirements and CDC guidance so the environmental side holds up under inspection. Licensing itself is between your program and DHS.
Do you sanitize toys?
Yes, and we handle mouthed items separately from general manipulatives. Tell us how your classrooms rotate materials and we’ll build the cycle around it.
Can you service us during program hours?
We don’t clean occupied classrooms — it’s disruptive and it puts products around children unnecessarily. Service runs before opening or after closing.
