Healthy Eating and Active Living for Child Care

Child care plays a key role in creating healthy environments where children learn and thrive. Healthy behaviours like eating patterns and physical activity levels that are started in childhood often transfer into adulthood so it is important that we provide opportunities to develop these behaviours at a very young age.

The Child Care Healthy Eating and Active Living (HEAL) Guidelines provide you with evidence-based standards to promote healthy eating and active living environments for young children. The Child Care HEAL Guidelines training and resources below provide information and practical ideas to put the Guidelines into action.
