Who will they learn from?
Carey Davis-Munro
Head Start 4 Health is the creation of Carey Davis-Munro. Carey is a fully qualified Teacher of Physical Education with qualifications in fitness and health instruction. More recently she has completed studies in nutrition.
For the past 4 years Carey has run her own business concentrating on the proactive management and support of health in corporates. When London won the bid for the 2012 Olympics, Carey felt it was the right time to launch something new for children in the lead up to the Games and to tackle the increasing health issues prevalent in the UK today using a completely different approach. Carey works both in schools implementing Healthy Schools programmes as well as overseeing everything comprising Life2theMax. She has three children.
