description Awareness of environmental preservation begins with learning about environmental health for children in the tourist village area. The main objective of this program is to build a strong community foundation regarding the importance of environmental health in maintaining the balance of rural nature. The research objective was to determine the implementation and pattern of environmental health literacy education in the village of Paledah, Padaherang District, Pangandaran Regency. The research method used is qualitative. The consideration of choosing this method is the character of data that is able to maintain the integrity of the object. This means that research data is understood as an integrated unit. The process of collecting data was accomplished through interviews, discussions, observations, and library studies. Validity and reliability tests are carried out through the process of data triangulation and source triangulation—descriptive data analysis through stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Sources of data in this study are 5 persons. They are the managers of a tourist village 3 people and two people of parents’students. The results showed that there were five components in the implementation of environmental health literacy education in Paledah, Padaherang District, Pangandaran Regency. The components are (1) learning starts from simple experience, (2) provides positive experiences outside the house, (3) focuses on experience rather than teaching, (4) shows the person who cares about the environment and pleasure being in the real world, (5) the teacher as a model in maintaining the natural environment. The pattern of learning environmental health literacy involves four main elements, namely the teacher, children as students, parents, and learning media. Through this pattern, a synergy of instructors in village tourism managers and parents at home can be built to act in harmony in providing environmental health literacy for children, especially regarding the control of the implementation of environmental health literacy in children's daily lives.
