Sesame Street Resources for Health, Behavioral Health, and Safety
Explore these resources created by the National Center on Health, Behavioral Health, and Safety and Sesame Workshop to support healthy practices in early childhood settings.
Physical Health
Health is the foundation of school readiness. To help children thrive, Head Start staff ensure that children are up to date on immunizations and their state’s Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT) schedule, learn healthy habits, and can access the care they need. Head Start programs also promote the physical and social and emotional well-being of families and staff.
