{"abstract":"This study examines the impact of a school feeding initiative on young children's health and overall development. The study was conducted at Kabadiangan Central Elementary School in the Philippines, aiming to address malnutrition among kindergarten students. Through the School-Based Feeding Program (SBFP), the research investigates improvements in nutritional status, cognitive development, school attendance, physical health, and social-emotional well-being. By providing nutritious meals, the SBFP aims to improve not only the physical health of students but also their academic outcomes and overall school experience. The research is contextualized within the broader efforts of the Department of Education to enhance educational and health outcomes through targeted nutritional interventions. Methodologically, the study employs a descriptive research design, with a sample comprising all kindergarten students during the 2023-2024 academic year. Data collection involved nutritional assessments, surveys, and standardized developmental checklists. The findings reveal significant improvements in participating students' nutritional status, increased energy levels, better school attendance, and enhanced cognitive and physical development. Additionally, the program's impact on social and emotional development is evident, with students showing improved self-esteem, social interactions, and overall mental well-being. Based on the results, it recommends continued support and expansion of the SBFP to reach more children in need, along with integrating educational components that promote healthy eating habits. The study's outcomes suggest that well-implemented school feeding programs play a pivotal role in addressing malnutrition, thereby supporting the holistic development of children and contributing to their academic success and long-term well-being.","abstract_source":"original","authors":["Nellie Jane Decoran","Lorenzo Capacio","Ofelia Pigao","Aida Selecios","Ramilito Paloma"],"date":"2026-10-02","doi":"10.70838/PEMJ.630707","id":10992,"issue":7,"journal":{"issn":"2822-4353","name":"Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal"},"pdf_sha256":"30b7951cc8e8932afe829e56efeadcb86d563b1be7e69a6ece114f5f4952a7bd","schema":"scimatic-article/1","title":"Influence of School-Based Feeding Program on Nutritional Status and Holistic Development of Kindergarten Learners","volume":63}
