Designed for programs implementing the comprehensive health education curriculum, Growing, Growing Strong, this training module emphasizes the importance of early childhood health education with activities and topics including those that are familiar (such as handwashing) and those in which early care and education staff may feel less comfortable (such as emotions and emotional situations). Ready-to-use materials include a PowerPoint presentation, trainer's guide, reproducible handouts in both English and Spanish, and evaluation forms. At the end of the session, the participants will be able to:

• identify appropriate and essential health education topics for children
• identify ways to integrate Growing, Growing Strong curriculum in their daily lesson plans
