It is important for children to come to school emotionally and
physically healthy. Studies have shown that children’s physical
well-being has a significant effect on their learning and long-term
success. When children are well-rested, well-nourished, and physically
fit they are more ready to learn.
Every parent wants his or her child to be happy and healthy. Parents share the responsibility of ensuring their child's well-being with teachers, the community, its members, and all its services. Learning the facts about various health concerns is key to this common effort.
