Munch & Move
Munch & Move program is NSW Health initiative that fits within the new National Quality Framework and the Early Years Learning Framework, which is a fun, play-based approach to support healthy eating habits and physical activity in young children.
Early childhood is a crucial time for children to develop and practice healthy eating and physical activity habits, which promotes self-care, independence, confidence and a range of basic motor skills that will benefit children throughout their lives.
The six key messages that form the basis of Munch & Move are:
- Encourage and support breastfeeding
- Choose water as a drink
- Eat more fruit and vegetables
- Choose healthier snacks
- Get active each day
- Turn off the screen and get active
Our educational leader collaborates with the center’s cook and consults with families and nutritionists to promote healthy eating habits and an inclusive service culture. We provide cooking programs in which children can actively participate and learn through fun play and real-life experiences.
