Health & Nutrition

Eating habits formed during early childhood serve as the foundation for a lifetime of healthy habits. Our goal is to provide a balanced, nutritious diet to all children in our care, and we encourage them to try a variety of foods.
Meals are prepared daily by our trained cook, ensuring that every meal is balanced and made from fresh ingredients. If your child has any special dietary needs, please let us know, and we will accommodate them.
We also encourage children to engage in conversation during mealtime, helping to develop their social skills and learn about nutrition. Children are taught to clean up after themselves, promoting responsibility and independence.
