Curriculum Overview
The HealthStart Foundation has developed a nine volume curriculum with five biological sciences and four environmental sciences units. Our Health Education for Youngsters! (HEY!) teaches young children how their bodies work, the importance of good nutrition and staying fit, and how their environment can impact their health and how they can affect the health of the world around them
Each unit includes supplemental life skills sections that teach children the importance of cooperation, respect and kindness in addition to the main science-based health lessons. The environmental units also place an emphasis on how a child’s health is dependent on the world around them. HEY! empowers children to make healthy decisions through early education and helps them understand how they are an important part of their families, communities and the world as a whole.
HEY! is intended for children ages 3-6. The units take a variety of health concepts and present them in a manner that is easy for educators to use and simple for children to understand. By using games, circle time and hands-on activities, our curriculum takes students on a journey that sets the foundation for good health for life.
