What is HIGH FIVE® ?
HIGH FIVE® is Canada's quality standard for children's programs. Before HIGH FIVE, no standard existed and there was a clear need for an innovative approach to help organizations enhance program quality and provide positive experiences for children, which would remain with them for a lifetime.
HIGH FIVE® promotes the following five principles of healthy child development that research says are essential for quality programs:
- a caring adult
- friends
- play
- mastery
- participation
HIGH FIVE® empowers organizations to provide the best possible experiences for children in their sport and recreation programs through the use of these five principles.
