Why do we support professional development of healthy eating and physical activity in ECEC’s?

Munch & Move promotes professional development for early childhood educators due to their central role in shaping children’s health behaviours. Ongoing training equips educators with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to effectively promote healthy eating, physical activity, and reduced screen time in their everyday practice. Participation in professional development also aligns with the ACECQA National Quality Standard 4 (Element 4.2.1 - Professional collaboration) and Standard 7 (element 7.2.3 - Development of professionals).
