How we work with early childhood services

Early Childhood Education and Care services (ECECs) can have a positive and profound influence on children’s eating behaviours and are often providing a child’s best opportunity to be physically active throughout the day. Good for Kids, Good for Life provides support for ECECs across Hunter New England Local Health District (HNE LHD) to implement the NSW Ministry of Health’s, Munch & Move program. 

2026 Calendar for ECECs

Use this calendar to plan fun healthy eating and physical activities experiences.

The Heart of a child by Aboriginal artist, Lara Went

Lara Went from Yukul Art created this artwork for Good for Kids, Good for Life. The title of this artwork is called 'The heart of a child'.

The heart in the middle represents health, love and support surrounding everyone. Coming from the heart are lines which are positive energy radiating into the children which are the figures around the heart holding hands. The leaves represent physical activity and the fruit represents healthy eating. The circles that almost look like stars represent community groups and people coming together in support, positive guidance, love and good energy.

You will see this artwork featured throughout the Good for Kids, Good for Life communication.
