Nutrition, Health & Safety
Good health is essential. It provides the foundation from which very young children can grow, develop, and learn. A child who is sick, tired, hungry, or in an unsafe environment may not have the energy and strength to fully participate in learning. As programs support children's health and wellness, they support children's physical, mental, and social well-being.
