ur Vision is that all young children will learn the fundamentals of being and staying healthy as routinely as they learn their ABCs, numbers and colors and with this information they are able to enjoy lifelong wellness.
ur Mission is to give young children and their families the information and materials they need so the children can be and stay healthy and their families can support their children in being and staying healthy their whole lives.
The key to healthier communities is starting young. That’s where HealthStartcomes in. We’ve developed an educational curriculum for preschoolers so they can learn to make good choices about their health along with learning their ABCs.
It’s no secret our kids aren’t getting the exercise and nutrition they need. In fact according to recent national estimates only 1 in 3 children meet current physical activity recommendations and only 1 in 5 eat the recommended five or more servings of fruits and vegetables per day.
