We selected 65 children, aged 6 to 6.5, from three kindergartens at different social levels to be in the control group. The first medical assessments showed that 80% of the children had breathing and functional issues, which made it really clear that this intervention was needed urgently.

The programme was officially launched by IIOPE's CEO, Roger Price, and COO, Valentina Gecha. We'd like to thank our Romanian team, made up of Ilia Jipa, Elena Crăciun, Ramona Constantin, Iulia-Alexandra Tașcău, Teodora Boldeanu, Carolina Fischer, Catalina Lancu, and Simona Giurca, for all their hard work and commitment to excellence.

SOLUTION

The majority of preschools globally are currently focusing their attention on:

60–90% of school children worldwide suffered from caries and more then 70% have occlusion problems.

Respiratory dysfunction can result in prolonged oxygen deprivation to body tissues, including the brain, impacting a child's academic and social life.

Bacterial colonies found on the adenoid surfaces of children suffering from recurrent upper-airway inflammation and abstructive sleep apnea mostly consist of oral microflora.

PRIMARY PREVENTION EDUCATION PROGRAM

Engaged in the educational programme, underscoring its broad influence and reach.

Demonstrating the global reach of the programme, spanning diverse national and cultural backgrounds.

Highlighting the universal applicability of early health education, regardless of climate or regional differences.

Emphasizing the significant period during which foundational health and well-being habits are formed in early childhood education settings.

The primary goal of the study is to provide the World Ministry of Health with a prevention model for non-communicable diseases that relies on health determinant principles and is supported by statistical evidence from comprehensive research studies. Our main hypothesis posits that the preschool years are critical for establishing lifelong, sustainable health behaviour beliefs, and attitudes.

By fostering a health-promoting environment during this formative period, we can facilitate sustainable development and long-term well-being. The next step in our research is to provide global scientific evidence for the effectiveness of implementing preventive healthcare strategies in neo-preschools at the state level worldwide.

Measurements: height, weight.
Child's ID card: Trainers fill in date of birth, name, and anthropometric parameters.

Postural assessment entails observation of static posture for alignment and visual and palpable assessment of paired anatomic landmarks for symmetry.

Output data: Four images focusing on head, shoulders, neck, eyes, ears, ribcage, pelvis, knees, and feet.

It is crucial for identifying any developmental delays, functional impairments, or abnormalities in a child's oral and dental health.

Focus Areas: Hygiene, primary and mixed dentition, nasal potency and congestion, tongue function, tethered oral tissues.
Output data: Intraoral photos and videos showing occlusion.

A non-invasive method that measures the ETCO₂ (end-tidal carbon dioxide pressure) in exhaled air and Respiratory Rate providing a clear indication of functional pH and balanced biochemistry.

Measurements: Baseline resting end-tidal CO₂ and Respiratory Rate.
Comparisons: Readings when supine and with thorax expansion.

Important for assessing a child’s overall physical and oral abilities, it helps to identify any developmental delays, primitive reflex release or functional impairments, and provides a comprehensive understanding of the child’s motor skills and coordination, essential for effective intervention and support.

Activities: sitting, standing, walking in place, single leg proprioception (eyes open and closed), running, gait recording, jumping, ball throwing, catching and kicking.
Oral Functions: Chewing, Swallowing, Articulation.

Children suffer from:
• Compromised breathing
• Poor sleep quality
• Crooked teeth
• Dental caries
• Speech problems

We believe that physical and emotional balance can become a reality through education, particularly for children.

The projects are designed to cover all stages of childhood, allowing children to be educated and supported in a systematic and holistic way.
