First Program
The First Program health curriculum introduces foundational concepts of well-being by blending topics of physical, emotional, and social health in age-appropriate ways that encourage curiosity, self-awareness, and respect for oneself and other members of the community.
Through exploring food and nutrition and the impact of both on our bodies, students begin to understand that what and how they eat influences their health and how they feel. They will also build nutritional vocabulary as they continue to develop their curiosity through low-pressure food experimentation with exposure and a fostering of openness to new experiences.
Emotional health is equally emphasized, helping students develop vocabulary to express feelings and sensations, recognize stress, and practice positive self-talk. Concepts of safety, body awareness, boundaries, and consent are gently introduced to foster respect and self-confidence in addition to the basic physical health of understanding disease and healthy habits for cleanliness and care.
