Munch & Move at Montessori Milestones
Helping Children Eat Well, Move More, and Grow Stronger Every Day
What is Munch & Move?
Munch & Move is a NSW Health initiative that promotes healthy eating, active play, and reduced screen time in early childhood education. At Montessori Milestones, we proudly implement this program as part of our daily routine — because your child’s wellbeing matters as much as their learning.
Through Munch & Move, we support your child’s physical development, build healthy habits, and lay the foundations for lifelong wellbeing.
How We Deliver Munch & Move
✔️ Nutritious Meals and Snacks
We provide five balanced meals a day, planned using the Australian Dietary Guidelines and supported by Feed Australia menu planning tools. Each meal is prepared with variety, colour, and nutritional value in mind — catering to allergies and cultural preferences.
✔️ Daily Active Play and Movement
Physical activity is part of every day — not just recess. Our routines include gross motor play, music and movement, obstacle courses, yoga, and outdoor exploration that strengthen bodies and boost coordination.
✔️ Mindful Screen Use
We model screen-free learning and limit digital time in line with national best-practice guidelines. Children are encouraged to engage with their environment, each other, and their educators — not devices.
✔️ Positive Food Experiences
We involve children in mealtime routines and food-based learning, helping them build positive attitudes toward healthy eating. Educators model healthy choices and respectful eating behaviours.
Giving You Peace of Mind
With Montessori Milestones, you can rest assured that your child’s day is filled with energy, nutrition, balance, and joy. Munch & Move isn’t an extra — it’s part of who we are.
