As a preschool teacher you should be able to set up and maintain a healthy classroom that promotes good health and nutrition and is free from factors contributing to illness. You will be providing daily opportunities for your children to exercise both indoors and outdoors whether or not a large space is available. The balance of active and quiet activities you set up will include rest periods as a natural follow-up exertion, although you will accommodate individual needs for children who have no longer nap during the day. Washing hands and brushing teeth will be an important part of the program, with care taken to prevent transfer of germs during tooth brushing. Nutritional needs for the children under your care will be met through snacks and meals. In addition, they will learn good food habits through their own fun experience with nutritional foods.

Your children will be prepared to take medical tests and examinations through preliminary classroom activities set up by your or a health specialists.

You will be able to recognize symptoms of illness in children and know how to deal with them. You will also be familiar with the characteristics of abused children and with the ways that you and your program must respond. Children with health impairments such as AIDS, allergies, asthma, attention-deficit disorder, and physical and mental disabilities also can be accommodated in the classroom through your careful planning with parents and health specialists.
