Children are healthy and learning

Children grow and develop within supportive relationships and supportive communities. When children have the opportunities available to them to grow up healthy and learning, they can also grow to be strong community contributors. Access to strong early learning opportunities and the ability to be healthy also plays an important role in a child’s life. Access to physical activity and healthy food ensures a child can be engaged and learning in the classroom. Similarly, play- and learning-rich environments in the first few years of a child’s life can support them to be ready for school by the time they start Kindergarten.
