Preschool Nutrition
The healthy eating habits established in childhood continue on into adolescence and adulthood. Providing optimal nutrition supports normal growth, development, and the capacity to think and learn.
Morning tea, Lunch and Afternoon Tea are all provided at preschool. We provide children with food and nutrition that is supported by the Australian Dietary Guidelines.
We also aim to inclusively support and provide adequately for children with food allergies or specific cultural practices. Our Qualified Chef is responsible for the creation, preparation and delivery of our menus and daily meals, all cooked fresh onsite in our preschool kitchen. We inclusively support and provide for all children’s dietary requirements. Be sure to chat about your children’s individual needs during your tour.
During meal times, educators take time to talk and facilitate conversations among the children as we discuss the activities of the morning and other things of interest to them.
Beyond nutrition and eating habits, meal times are used to reinforce manners, socialisation and self-help skills, which are learning experiences in themselves.
