Training

The Munch & Move program and the Good for Kids team offer free training and professional development to early childhood services in HNELHD.

The Munch & Move e-Learning program is a free, self-paced online training program designed for Educators. If you have at least one person who has completed the Munch & Move e-Learning Program at your service you will gain access to a suite of free resources, menu and policy reviews, and tailored support from a local Health Promotion Officer.


Your service can gain access to the Munch & Move Staff Development Kit, after one of your staff members' completes the Munch & Move e-Learning Program. This kit can be used to train multiple staff members at once.

The Munch & Move program recommends at least 50% of the Educators in each Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) service complete either the Munch & Move e-Learning Program or Staff Development Kit.

The Good for Kids team delivered an interactive webinar on Fussy Eating for ECEC Staff, in July 2022. A recorded version is now available. You can use this recording as a professional development activity for individual staff training or for group training.  

The webinar covers:

  • A definition of fussy eating
  • Strategies to support fussy eating
  • Examples of role modelling healthy eating
  • Actions for taking a whole service approach

The Good for Kids team delivered this workshop to services via zoom in May 2021. The recording now available as a professional development resource for Educators.

The workshop covers:

  • The Munch & Move key message ‘get active each day’
  • The Australian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for the Early Years (Birth to 5 years)
