Kane County All Our Kids Early
Childhood Network (AOK) created Stall Street Journal for
Kids for use in child care settings, preschools and
other community locations.
What is Stall Street Journal for
Kids? It is a simple message for young children
that provide a quick health message that is hung in the
bathroom stall door or wall. Taking a cue from similar
messages used in high schools and colleges for
preventative health information, All Our Kids (AOK)
Early Childhood Network of Kane County has developed
health messages that provide learning on several levels
for preschool age children. The health message is
important but so is learning colors, word recognition,
and names of objects and actions.
We know that young children learn through repetition. We
also know that young children often spend time in the
bathroom as they work on their potty learning skills.
What better time for an adult to introduce or reinforce
preventative health messages.
Since parents are their child’s first and most important
teacher, a one-page information sheet will provide tips
for parents and other adults help the child learn the
health message and make it part of his life. Whether the
message is eating fruits and vegetables or getting
exercise, it takes time and gentle adult guidance for
children to learn messages. |
