Health and Wellbeing

Children's health is an integral part of their emotional, mental and social wellbeing. Health and Wellbeing invites educators to reflect on the three main strands of growing and developing, physical well-being and emotional well-being. Where the environment and practices support the well-being of children, families and educators, then the provision for children will be better and more successful in its outcomes. This resource aims to address this by exploring the issues and providing checklists that consider the best possible experiences and outcomes for the child, alongside the experiences and outcomes for families and educators.
