Healthy eating and oral health culture

When it comes to helping children reach their fullest potential healthy eating and oral health are key. As an early childhood service you don’t have to do it alone when embedding these values into your programs. There are plenty of organisations that can help you build a healthy eating and oral health culture into all areas of your early childhood service. Looking for inspiration? Well Matron Swinton Child Care Centre in Warrnambool did just that!
