We at The Children’s Health Market, are proud to introduce you to THE GREAT BODY SHOP, our nationally recognized comprehensive health and substance abuse prevention program used by preschool, elementary and middle schools throughout the US. The program meets all state and national standards, is affordable, easy to teach, and provides an educational environment in which it is enjoyable to learn.

THE GREAT BODY SHOP is more than just an excellent comprehensive health program. It also provides a fully articulated cross-curricular approach for school districts that require additional concentration in one or more of the following specific areas:

  • Substance Abuse Prevention
  • Social and Emotional Health
  • Character Education
  • Violence Prevention (including bullying)
  • Critical Thinking
  • Asset Building
  • Reading, Communication, Technology and other Learning Skills

    • We have developed the program over the past fifteen years in close cooperation with nationally recognized specialists in the allied health sciences and the field of elementary curriculum design, as well as with community leaders and educators in many roles in school districts across the US. The program uses multiple strategies to ensure that THE GREAT BODY SHOP has a positive impact on children’s health attitudes, knowledge and behavior. Combining current research from the fields of substance abuse and violence prevention, educational psychology, neuroscience and human behavior, the program synthesizes accurate, developmentally appropriate content with effective instructional processes.

    The website you are about to explore has been designed to give as complete a picture as possible of THE GREAT BODY SHOP and how it can be used to meet your needs.
