BABES
Beginning Alcohol and Basic Education Studies (BABES) is a primary prevention program designed to help young
children, preschool and kindergarten, develop positive life skills. The purpose of the program is to support
the social/emotional development of young children.
Participants learn and practice age appropriate life skills including understanding feelings, decision making, coping, getting help, and awareness about medicine and drugs. The program supports and reinforces the development of healthy attitudes and behaviors at a critical developmental phase for these children. The program also helps to identify and redirect inappropriate behaviors.

The BABES program uses puppet presentations as an age appropriate teaching strategy to engage the students
in positive life skill development and teach lessons on peer pressure, feelings, self-image, decision making,
coping skills, getting help, and alcohol and drug information.
The program is presented in the classrooms of children by certified presenters or teachers to ensure program fidelity.
