Abstract	Every child deserves a fair chance. A chance to learn, grow, explore possibilities, persevere and achieve his or her potential. The Ounce of Prevention Fund believes that no child's potential should be limited by poor health. Good health in early childhood is an essential component of school readiness. The benefits of health and learning are mutually reinforcing: A healthy child is less likely to miss school and is better able to concentrate and process information in class, and the skills the child acquires in school often pay off in mental and physical health benefits down the road. What's more, good health doesn't simply start in a pediatrician's office--it is nurtured in homes, classrooms and playgrounds, and we all have a role to play in helping every child reach his or her potential for a lifetime of health. An appendix presents "Key Early Education Research Studies." [For the full report, see ED570103.] (ERIC).
