We are happy. Because the attention for healthy childcare is growing!

More and more parents and supervisors in the childcare sector find it important to give young children the basis of a healthy lifestyle and a sustainable living environment.

Why a day of healthy childcare?

Everyone will agree on the importance of healthy childcare. Nevertheless, with this day we want to create even more awareness among parents and professionals in the childcare sector.

Shaping healthy childcare in a practical way

Translating a vision on healthy childcare into the daily practice of childcare organisations requires new ways of thinking, daring and doing. The day of healthy childcare is a day to consciously get started with that.
