Health Supporting Kindergarten Network in South Bohemia
HOLINKOVÁ, Petra
This bachelor thesis deals with the issue of kindergartens supporting children´s health in South Bohemia. A kindergarten supporting health is a type of school that has prepared its school education programme in accordance with the Curriculum Supporting Children´s Health in Kindergartens and, thus, it has become a member of the health supporting kindergarten network. The first part of the thesis is aimed at this issue from the theoretical point of view. The basic terms such as health, health support and planned projects aimed health support are outlined in the first part. Development of, embodying and characteristics of the project Health Supporting Kindergarten is described in more detail. Qualitative research was selected to set up the second part of the thesis. I decided for the secondary analysis of data as the first method of data collection. Curricula supporting children´s health gained in the individual kindergartens supporting children´s health were the documents analysed. A structured interview with open questions was the other method used. Selected representatives of kindergartens were the respondents. The main objective of my thesis was to evaluate the programme School Supporting Health in Kindergartens in South Bohemia. The individual objectives determined along with the main objective were aimed at the analysis of and meeting the programme School Supporting Health in Individual Kindergartens in South Bohemia and, subsequently, these programmes were compared. Based on the research results I came to the conclusion that all kindergartens supporting children´s health meet the requirements of the model project-Curriculum Supporting Children´s Health in Kindergartens-and they are operated in accordance with its principle, too. The research also suggests that the programmes of the individual kindergartens do not significantly differ from each other. In my opinion, more attention should by paid on widening the health supporting kindergartens network in future, which means to support the project more and motivate other kindergartens to join the network. This thesis can be used e.g. by eventual members as a source of summary information on the project.
