Short Summary

The “Health-Literate Daycare Center” guide supports daycare centers in systematically promoting health literacy. It uses eight practical standards to describe how health literacy can be anchored in everyday life and in the structures of the facility. The aim is to enable all those involved—children, parents, and the daycare team—to handle health information confidently and to strengthen health-promoting behavior. In addition to background information, the guide contains a self-assessment questionnaire to check one's own status and identify potential for development.
