Get up & grow: healthy eating and physical activity for early childhood: staff and carer book (2009)

Description

The Get up and grow: healthy eating and physical activity for early childhood guidelines and accompanying resources have been developed by child health and early childhood professionals in collaboration with the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing. This collection of resources has been developed in consultation with people from urban, regional and remote locations, some with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, some from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds, and some who care for children with a disability.

Four books have been developed in this series:

• Director/coordinator book
• Staff and carer book
• Cooking for children
• Family book.

The Get up and grow resources are designed to be used in a wide range of early childhood settings by families, staff and carers.

The Staff and carer book provides practical information and advice on early childhood healthy eating and physical activity to all staff and carers in early childhood settings. It provides:

• an understanding of the healthy eating guidelines and physical activity recommendations
• practical ideas for putting the guidelines into practice and for working with families confidently.
