Munch & Move This evidenced, play-based program supports the healthy development of children attending Early Childhood Education Centres (ECEC) and Family Day Care (FDC) through practices related to healthy eating, physical activity, breastfeeding and reducing screen time. Our Healthy Early Years team supports the local needs of 468 ECEC and 19 FDC providers across western Sydney, to reach approximately 32,000 children and their families. In a recent survey, 95 early childhood services provided feedback on their preferred modes of engagement with the Munch & Move program. In response, a new virtual support model was designed and piloted, which included online formats for a Reflective Practice Tool, professional development huddles and workshops/resources.
