🍎 Thank You for a Wonderful Nutrition Week Session! 🥕🍓

A big thank you to Leanne from Nutrition Australia ACT and Maddie and Megan, Master of Nutrition and Dietetics students from the University of Canberra, for joining us at Kippax Kids and presenting our Feeding Children Under 5 session. It was a great way to celebrate National Nutrition Week!

Maddie and Megan did a fantastic job creating such a warm, welcoming and informative session, sharing practical tips and ideas to help families support positive food experiences and healthy eating habits in young children.

💛 Thank you also to all the families who came along! It was lovely to see everyone, share some morning tea and enjoy a little playtime together afterwards.

We really appreciate everyone who helped make the morning such an enjoyable experience! 😊
