Hi all

you might hear you little one talking about smart start,

Here is a little bit about it

The Smart Start Training Programme was devised in response to the recommendations of the food and nutrition guidelines for Pre-school services (2004).  It was developed as a result of a collaborative process involving parents, the HSE, Pre-School providers, County Childcare committees and the Border counties childhood network.

Pre-schools play an important role in highlighting health promotion with children, staff and families .  Smart Start is a holistic health promotion programme which includes health promotion, oral health, nutrition, health and safety (accident prevention), physical activity and emotional well being.
