The research aimed to identify the effectiveness of a program on international health standards and investigate its impact on developing health concepts for kindergarten children. To achieve this objective, the quasi-experimental design of two groups: control and experimental was used. The main research sample consisted of (60) boys and girls. They were randomly divided into two groups, the experimental group (30) and the control group (30). The homogeneity of the two groups was verified in the main variables. Then, the test of health concepts was applied after calculating the factors of difficulty, discrimination, and indications of validity and reliability. In addition, the program was applied to the experimental group, which consisted of (49) activities. The results of the research showed statistically significant differences at (0.05) between the means of the scores of the control group and the experimental group in the post-test of the test of health concepts in favor of the experimental group. This indicates the program's effectiveness in developing health concepts. The study also showed no statistically significant differences at (0.05) between the means of the male and female scores of the experimental group in acquiring the health concepts presented to them through the program. The research suggested several recommendations, the most important of which is the inclusion of international health standards in the self-learning curriculum for kindergarten.
