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.

Participating preschools will be assessed based on the three criteria of supportive environment, targeted intervention and capacity building, as shown in the diagram below.

These programmes equip educators and parents to promote healthy living in their preschools and at home with their families.

“We love the energy and friendliness of our instructor, Ms Liew Hui Ling, who conducted the Plug and Play session at our centre. She was also well-liked by the children and led our children to participate in the workout session. The activity was very engaging and teaches the children about good health habits. This also acts as an encouragement for our teachers and children to stay active and lead a healthy lifestyle.”

I strongly believe that healthy habits should be cultivated at a young age, and preschools can play a very important role. Support from HPB and parents for our preschool's effort is crucial to our success to foster a culture of lifelong healthy habits for our children – from healthy eating to mental wellness. We appreciate HPB’s workshop programmes and resources, which help to keep our teachers abreast of the latest in healthy practices for our children.
