An EcoDaycare Center Pioneer has opened in Atlanta, Georgia. Fio 360, the self-described nation’s first eco-early care center is pulling out all the stops to make sure its children start living green from the git-go.

For starters there are no carpets whatsoever at the center, which could expose children to the harmful chemicals in synthetic fibers. All floor coverings are rugs made from organic wool. The center uses only organic, formaldehyde-free mattresses for the kid’s naps. No PVC plastic toys are allowed in the facility and all meals served are made from 100% organic food prepared by Fio’s Executive Chef. Yoga and recycling classes are the norm - as are massages before naptime. You can watch the video below for more about Atlanta’s new Fio 360:
