Healthy Preschool Accreditation
At HPB, we encourage preschools to establish a culture that promotes healthy living through our Healthy Preschool (HPS) Accreditation Framework. Here are some programmes your preschools can adopt to empower the preschoolers, staff and parents in supporting this culture.
This accreditation is awarded to preschools with comprehensive school health promotion practices for preschoolers, parents and staff.
Programmes offered are in support of Grow Well SG, a national initiative that aims to empowers families, with support from schools and the community to build healthy habits in children which can continue through to adulthood, bringing long-term health benefits.
For Children:
Healthy Meals in Preschools Programme (HMPP)
HMPP aims to promote healthier food choices and healthy eating habits from a young age in preschools through a collaborative effort with teachers, cooks, and children.
We support participating schools by providing guidance on healthy food options, offering educational resources, and advising preschools on the use of healthier ingredients.

Healthy Lifestyle Puppet Show
The Healthy Lifestyle Puppet Show uses engaging puppetry to teach preschoolers important health topics in an interactive and fun way.
Through lively characters and stories, it is designed to captivate young audiences, encourage active participation and helps children understand healthy habits in an enjoyable and memorable manner.
To book the programme, look out for the EDM in your mailbox sent several times a year.
School Health Services
The programme aims to conduct growth and developmental screenings for K1 and K2 students to detect health issues early. This includes height, weight, and vision screenings at their preschools. Students who miss their screenings will be referred to the Student Health Centre for the same services.
For Educators:
Recognising Preschools Health Efforts
We encourage preschools to establish a culture of healthy living through our recognition model. This model acknowledges preschools that implement comprehensive health promotion practices for children, staff, and parents.
More information will be provided to preschools soon.
Health Promotion Training for Educators
This programme aims to equip preschool educators with the knowledge and skills to promote healthy lifestyles among children.
By enhancing their health literacy on key topics such as nutrition, physical activity, myopia, and mental health, educators will be empowered to support their children’s holistic development and create a health-conscious environment. The programme provides valuable strategies for fostering a healthy, supportive atmosphere in the classroom.
The workshops can be booked on Healthy365. Look out for the EDM in your mailbox sent several times a year.
