What Educators Are Saying…

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The curriculum consists of 8 storybooks, designed specifically for this young audience. The compilation of materials includes a whole center approach to creating health promotion throughout the child’s day – academic learning, physical activity, meal, and play. These items facilitate the communication of important nutrition and healthy messages in a manner understood by children.

Yes! The OrganWise Guys Comprehensive School Program (which included PreKindergarten and Kindergarten children) was part of the only published longitudinal (multi-year) school-based study to show statistically significantly greater improvements in weight, blood pressure and waist circumference measures, as well as higher standardized test scores, of children in program schools as compared to children who were not.

These healthy and smart findings are published in top-tier, peer-reviewed journals – the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, the American Journal of Public Health and the Journal of Healthcare for the Poor and Underserved. Additionally, research was presented at the American Heart Association’s 2015 Epidemiology and Prevention and Lifestyle and Cardiometabolic Health Scientific Sessions that showed statistically significant improvements (and maintenance) in BMI percentile and waist circumference for children ages 2-5 participating in this childhood obesity prevention intervention.

Yes! We understand how limited time is for teachers as well as the numerous testing/reporting requirements from state and federal entities. Our goal is to make implementing this program as EASY as possible for teachers. These materials are linked to Early Childhood/Head Start/Pre-school standards. Please email [email protected] for a copy.

Yes! The curriculum comes with easy-to-use implementation guides to assist teachers in program use. Click hereto view all guides.

There is not a specific curriculum evaluation or pre/post test for this age group at this time. However, many formal have been with this target age group click here and here. Also our educator post survey can be foundhere.

Yes! While this program is very streamlined and easy to use, we recommend a complementary Zoom training to outline how this program can work best for your center. We have free video trainings which can be viewed/used at anytime (it is also a great overview for you to view while considering this program).

For larger projects (multiple centers), an in-person training by one of our program experts is often requested. To meet this need, we do offer a day rate of $2500 (which includes travel expenses in the U.S.). To decide which option is best for you, do not hesitate to call us at 800-786-1730 x2.

Yes, we do! Please call us to discuss your PD needs and we can plan programming for your specific needs.

Absolutely! Again, the program’s success is due in part to its ability to meet project/ budgetary constraints/needs. We know all centers are unique! We have compiled what we believe is the most cost-effective program by combining our best items for this age group and setting. However, all items in the Booster Kit are also sold separately to fit into any budget parameters to get started and then can build on programming as budget allows.

As for including OrganWise components into other health programming already in place – again, a resounding YES! The more nutrition and healthy lifestyle education kids receive, the better. We work with a wide variety of partners and programs so if you are helping kids improve their lives WE WANT TO WORK WITH YOU! One of the unique features of these materials (especially our OrganWise Gal/Guy pictured here) is that they can assist in bringing any nutrition and physical activity program to life!

Yes! We understand the importance of helping busy parents incorporate healthy choices into not only their children’s lives, but theirs as well. One way to reach the family is by using the optional Foods of the Month coloring book as a parent/child tool each month. Additionally, the Early Childhood Digital Platform (which many sites use in addition to this kit) includes ready-to-go Foods of the Month monthly newsletters (English/Spanish). These can be printed out and sent home or, if technology allows, centers can post these on their website if they have one.
