The project aims to bring together early childhood education and care educators (ECEC) with other key early- years partners in a series of free, quarterly professional development events.
These complement the Early Years Learning Framework and the National Quality Framework, and include:
The Healthy Kids program supports early childhood educators in these communities: Townsville, Burdekin, Mackay, Rockhampton, Hervey Bay, Maryborough, Bundaberg, Redcliffe Peninsular, Caboolture, Acacia Ridge, Logan, Ipswich, Toowoomba, Kingaroy, Lockyer Valley, South West Queensland, through a variety of in-person and online options.
After seven fantastic years of delivering Healthy Kids, we are taking a 6-month break to review what we've achieved and how we can best support early childhood educators around topics of health in the future. We've loved every minute of preparing topics, meeting educators, coordinating and supporting events! Stay in the loop by subscribing to the Healthy Kids newsletter (see below).
In the meantime, you can find recordings of previous events, as well as handouts, reflective practice worksheet and other resources in the back catalogue of newsletters.
