This study presents the development and evaluation of an interactive courseware designed for children’s nutrition education in Malaysia. The courseware aims to enhance the awareness of parents, guardians, and kindergarten teachers regarding the nutritional needs of children under six years old. This research employed the ADDIE model to develop a comprehensive, user-friendly, and engaging courseware as a learning tool. Data were collected through a quantitative method using online questionnaires distributed to 20 respondents consisting of parents, guardians, and kindergarten teachers. The findings indicated positive responses, with 85% of respondents agreeing that the courseware is attractive, easy to use, and informative. These results suggest that such courseware has the potential to effectively facilitate understanding and increase knowledge about children’s nutritional needs.
