This project, coordinated through Edith Cowan University, aimed to establish the practicality of a series of children’s books for early years educators to deliver important health literacy messages to young children aged two to four years, attending Western Australian Early Childhood Education & Care (ECEC) services.
Educators attended a workshop to receive training on how to use the books and provide learning opportunities to children. They then used the books at their services to provide practical feedback to ECU.
Thank you to MercyCare Educators; Marian Fernando (Wembley), Emma Williams (Heathridge), Tegan Bull (Ellenbrook) and Renae Austin (Landsdale) for their participation.
A special thank you to Tayla Day from Thornlie who also participated in the project and represented MercyCare at the launch on 2nd November and gave a wonderful presentation on the project process and outcomes.
