Report of Early Childhood Programs Health Services 1976-1977. Report No. 7842
Figgures, Cleo
This report briefly describes the health (medical, dental and psychological/mental health) services of five School District of Philadelphia early childhood programs: Child Care, Get Set Day Care, Parent Cooperative Nurseries, Prekindergarten Head Start, and Follow Through. Programs with and without mandated health components are included. Detailed information on the health components of three of these programs is given in three separate appendices, each including a narrative explaining the type of health care given, providers of care, and number of pupils served. Data indicate that although there is wide variation in the way health care is delivered to the students, common characteristics do exist among the programs which allow for the delivery of similar services. Based on the cumlative information, vision, hearing, and nutrition (growth) problems were identified as prevalent health concerns among children of all the programs. Results are discussed and recommendations are made. (SB)
