Child Care Center Secures Grants to Improve Indoor Air Quality
Big steps toward better indoor air quality are having a positive impact for students, teachers, and staff at Tiny Tots and Little Tykes Preschool and Child Care Center (TTLT) in West St. Paul, Minn. Partnering with ISO-Aire™, a fully integrated, medical-grade air purification system is cleaning the indoor air throughout the space that offers care and educational programs for children ages 6-weeks to 12 years of age.

Since ISO-Aire was installed, the school community is experiencing many health improvements, including fewer reported transmittable diseases such as strep throat, colds and flu, pink eye, and RSV. A few other highlights of the partnership include:
TTLT is the first childcare center to secure state and federal grant dollars to help fund an ISO-Aire integrated installation;
The school is protected with both powerful portable ISO-Aire units paired with the RSR1000, a building-wide, integrated solution that is connected to the HVAC system;
Each classroom houses a portable RSF500 model featuring medical-grade HEPA filtration paired with ozone-free bipolar ionization;
Together, this dual purification solution captures and destroys 99.99% of indoor air contaminants including viruses, bacteria, mold, pollen, dust, and VOCs.

“Through a Minnesota Peacetime Grant that we applied for, we were looking for resources to improve our indoor air quality. We came across ISO-Aire as a company helping schools update their air filtration system. My daughter is an R.N. and she is absolutely amazed we have this quality of air here in our Tiny Tots program," explained ManaRae Schaan, Executive Director, TTLT.
ISO-Aire delivers proven mitigation strategies that exceed the minimum requirements for indoor air quality established by ASHRAE and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
ISO-Aire air purification models can be seamlessly installed in almost any commercial space configuration from office buildings to gyms to preschools. The RSF500 units inside Tiny Tots and Little Tykes classrooms offer two layers of unmatched medical-grade filtration to capture and destroy 99.99% of pathogens and microscopic indoor air contaminants including mold, pollen, dust, VOCs, and smoke.
