Key points:

• Preschoolers need to eat foods from all five healthy food groups – vegetables, fruit, grain foods, dairy and protein.

• Healthy foods have nutrients that are important for growth, development and learning.

• Limit salty, fatty and sugary foods, low-fibre foods, and drinks with caffeine or a lot of sugar.

Each food group has different nutrients, which your child’s body needs to grow and work properly. That’s why we need to eat a range of foods from across all five food groups.
