Healthy Eating and Physical Activity Guidelines for Early Childhood

The Commonwealth Government is funding the development of guidelines on healthy eating and physical activity for children 0-5 years attending early childhood settings such as  childcare, preschools and family day care.  The guidelines are part of the government's plan to prevent overweight and obesity in young children. The guidelines will be evidence based and will contain practical information on how they can be implemented. The project is being co-ordinated by Early Childhood Australia.
