Childhood Nutrition and Wellbeing

Improving the health and wellbeing of children is an effective way to improve learning outcomes and nurture a healthy community.

At Toi Te Ora Public Health our vision is for all schools, early childhood centres and kōhanga reo to become health promoting environments, involving the whole school community in activities that promote health and wellbeing. 

Schools, early childhood centres and kōhanga reo have the opportunity to create a culture of healthy eating where children are supported to develop positive food behaviours that will help them to grow into healthy adults, and also help to maintain these behaviours at home.
