Daycare Center Seeks Better IAQ with Far-UVC

HARMONY, MN -- Lit Thinking, a developer of technology to make indoor spaces safer, healthier, and more productive, has installed its state-of-the-art UVC devices at an early childhood education facility.

Evrsphere, a sustainability consulting firm specializing in human health and indoor air quality performance, helped facilitate the successful installation of Visium’s Far-UVC technology at Harmony Kids Learning Center in Minnesota.

This important initiative underscores the center’s commitment to young children and aligns with Lit Thinking’s mission to empower businesses to create safer, healthier, and more productive indoor spaces.

“By integrating Visium’s advanced Far-UVC technology, we are not just enhancing safety, but redefining what childcare facilities can achieve in terms of health protection and innovation,” said John Rajchert, CEO of Lit Thinking. “This collaboration represents a transformative step in creating environments where children can thrive, and it sets a new benchmark for excellence in early education.”

The Evrsphere team worked to accelerate air quality performance and recommended this advanced solution to provide constant air and surface sanitization to create a safer and healthier indoor environment for both children and staff.

Children in daycare are particularly vulnerable to infections due to their close interactions and shared environments.

According to the CDC, children attending daycare may experience an average of 8 to 12 colds per year, with respiratory infections and gastroenteritis being the most common illnesses.

This higher frequency of illness is attributed to the constant exposure to germs and the underdeveloped immune systems of young children. Daycare centers can also contribute to the spread of contagious diseases if hygiene practices are not strictly followed​.

Implementing advanced solutions like Far-UVC technology at facilities like Harmony Kids Learning Center can play a crucial role in reducing these infection rates.

“We are proud to partner with Harmony Kids Learning Center, a pioneering institution that embraces our forward-thinking vision of healthier, safer indoor environments,” said Rajchert.

“This installation aligns with Harmony Kids Learning Center’s commitment to excellence in their innovative programs and dedication to fostering a lifelong love of learning in every child," Jonathon Cremer, Founder of Evrsphere, added. “Together, we are creating a healthier future for young learners.”

Harmony Kids Learning Center, recognized for its progressive and nurturing environment, offers comprehensive programs for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, pre-kindergarten, and school-aged children.

With state-of-the-art facilities that include a gymnasium, kitchen, and interactive learning stations, the center is dedicated to fostering exploration, discovery, social interaction, and pre-academic competence.

“At Harmony Kids Learning Center, the health and safety of our community is top priority,” said Umbelina Cremer, Owner and Executive Director of Harmony Kids Learning Center. “Thanks to Lit Thinking and their cutting-edge Visium technology and the collaborative consulting services rendered by Evrsphere, we are proud to offer an environment that supports the well-being of our students and staff, allowing them to focus on what matters most – learning and development.”

This collaboration underscores Lit Thinking's dedication to enabling businesses to cultivate healthy, well-being-focused, and more efficient indoor spaces. Harmony Kids Learning Center’s adoption of far-UVC technology serves as a model for best practices in childcare and education.
