Keeping children healthy

Beachside Family Centre is offering a course for parents and carers looking to keep their children healthy.

The "Healthy 4 Life" course gives parents and carers the opportunity to learn to cook quick, easy and healthy meals that the whole family will enjoy.

"This course will not only teach parents how to cook but they will also spend two sessions looking at healthy lifestyle issues for the family," Beachside Family Centre facilitator Ms Debbie Notara said.

"Each session will also end with enjoying the meal you have prepared so it should be great fun."

The course will be held in the new year at the Peninsula Community Centre in McMasters Rd, Woy Woy.

Limited free child care is also available next door through Peninsula Occasional Child Care.

"Come along to this free hands-on program that will teach you how to prepare everything from snacks to main meals and includes topics like budget meals, multicultural foods, entertaining and party foods, kid's snacks, baking, low fat meals and meals for those with allergies and food intolerances," Ms Notara said.

Bookings were essential: "First in best fed."
