FAQ kids health

Starting school is an exciting step for all children and being healthy is a great start on their new learning adventure.  Best wishes to all the new Kindergarten students and their families.  I hope the resources available to you in this FAQ Kids Health page on your school's website will be a useful resource for you. Please feel free to contact me for further information or to discuss anything child related.
