Munch & Move is NSW Health initiative that supports the healthy development of children birth to 5 years by promoting physical activity, healthy eating and reduced small screen time (e.g. watching TV or DVDs, playing on computers and small hand-held games devices).
Munch & Move offers training and resources to educators working in NSW early childhood education and care services. The training aims to assist educators to implement a fun, play-based approach to supporting healthy eating and physical activity habits in young children. The Munch & Move program fits within the new National Quality Framework and the Early Years Learning Framework.
The NSW Office of Preventive Health (OPH) manages the Munch & Move program at a state level. The OPH welcomes opportunities for collaboration with other organisations and stakeholders to promote best practice healthy eating and physical activity, in addition to reducing screen time for children aged birth to 5 years attending early childhood education and care (ECEC) services.
If you represent a large ECEC provider, ECEC policy company, food service provider or related organisation, and are interested in working with us to help provide a healthier future for children across the State, please contact us:
