NURSE TIEBEN'S CORNER
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.
This month we focus on dental health. Baby teeth are important for many reasons such as chewing foods, speaking clearly, staying healthy, and maintaining self-confidence. For more information about dental health, please click here .
