A running START for every child, birth to 5
Posted by City of Philadelphia on October 23, 2017
an agenda for health in early childhood
Health and learning are deeply connected, especially in young children. In 2015, Philadelphia adopted the city-wide plan A Running Start (now called A Running Start–Early Learning) to help young children learn and be ready for school. A Running Start–Health is a companion plan that coordinates City and community actions to improve young children’s health.
A Running Start–Health is a plan to improve the health of Philadelphia’s children in the first five years of life. It presents a coordinated approach to preventing health problems that appear in early childhood as well as those risks occurring in early childhood that lead to disease in adult years.
