HEALTH EDUCATION

The goal of our Health Education program is to develop in children the ability to understand, recognize, and apply decision-making skills to ensure a safe and healthy environment. Within each unit of study, several concepts are developed for each grade level. Concepts are age appropriate and consider the experiences, health beliefs and practices children bring to the classroom. These concepts provide the student with cognitive information that is supplemented with strategies and activities to reinforce learning.
