About the program
We offer free health and nutrition sessions for Māori and Pacific Islander families who are expecting a baby or with children from 0 to 4 years.
They include information about:
- healthy food and physical activity
- how to access antenatal, postnatal, and child health care.
What you'll learn
We work with mothers, fathers, and carers of babies and young children and help them learn about:
- staying healthy when you're pregnant
- food and drinks for babies and young children
- healthy food and drinks for the whole family
- building physical activity into your family.
Where sessions are held
We run sessions at:
- home, so your family can learn together
- early childcare centres, where we use simple and fun activities for young children
- playgroups, where sessions are for bigger groups and families.
