Meet our new healthy lifestyle champions!
Goodstart Early Learning Kangaroo Flat has the health of children and families at heart by becoming the first early childhood service in the City of Greater Bendigo to tick off all six Achievement Program health priorities. A brilliant effort!
The Victorian Government has recognised Goodstart Early Learning Kangaroo Flat for bringing change and awareness in these areas - healthy eating and oral health, sun protection, mental health and wellbeing, physical activity and movement, safe environments and tobacco, alcohol and other drugs.
“We’re are so proud of Goodstart. They have made health and wellbeing a huge part of their centre and that can improve the lifestyles of so many children and families,” said BCHS Health Promotion Officer Siobhan Sullivan.
“The Achievement Program has benefited our centre by looking at new ways we can promote health and wellbeing which we never would have thought of before. Simple things like creating the resource wall for parents and a bike parking area for children,” Centre Director Melissa Ruiter said.
Goodstart successfully made changes in each room and continue to focus on wellbeing such as introducing cultural and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learning.
