I spoke with the director of the center. I learned that she is responsible for managing the daily operations of pre-school and school-age programs to ensure compliance of the program according to city, state, and federal guidelines and regulations.
I gained insight into how the program integrates health, nutrition and mental health into children's activities. The health, nutrition and mental health services are incorporated on a daily basis through activities, such as hand washing, teeth brushing, preparing food and talking about feelings. Teachers model good health practices and integrate then into the curriculum by talking about physical exams, dental exams and vision screenings before they occur to reduce fear.
It seems that you have gained great insight from your interview. It is great to see how schools are ensuring good methods to use on a regular basis for health and nutrition. All of these things are greatly important in taking the necessary preventive measures in promoting good health and the wellness of life.
