OSHC services provide the ideal environment to promote healthy lifestyle behaviours related to food choices and mealtimes and to explore different cultures in a positive, enjoyable way.  When children are involved in decisions about their own health and wellbeing they are more likely to understand the reasons for eating healthy foods.  The service can provide many opportunities for children to learn about healthy foods through routine, planned and spontaneous experiences.

The information and resources provided in this section have been developed to support educators in gaining an understanding of implementing healthy food experiences relevant for children.
