Why aren't kids getting the food they need at childcare?

Description:

The first 2,000 days of life are crucial for brain development.

Children learn and grow more during this time than at any other point in their lives.

However, research shows many childcare centres are failing to provide proper nutrition: children are going hungry, and meals often don't meet basic dietary standards.

Experts are calling for better food support in disadvantaged areas and improved nutritional guidelines for early childhood centres to help children get the nourishment they need.
