Supporting Nutrition for Australian Childcare (SNAC)

 This website was developed as part of a research project undertaken as part of the requirements of a PhD at Edith Cowan University. SNAC provided early years educators access to recipe ideas, tools and resources, nutrition information and online activities.  The SNAC website aimed to assist to provide and promote an environment in which children’s healthy eating practices and behaviours, food habits and preferences can be developed and maintained and may also assist centres to meet or exceed the specific healthy eating requirements of the new National Quality Framework (NQF, 2012) through their use of this site.

The research project is now complete, and this site continues to exist as an important community resource.
