The promotion of a balanced and nutritious diet for the children is an important part of our Pre-School’s daily routine. We encourage parents to establish a healthy approach to diet and lifestyle, as children should have well-balanced meals for healthy physical growth and mental development. During snack and lunchtime, children have the opportunity to be involved in conversations and to practise their fine motor skills by cutting their food and fruit and pouring their drinks. Free access to drinking water is always available and accessible. With support from our Educators, children are encouraged to be independent at mealtimes by setting the tables and helping each other. Lunchtime becomes one of the highlights of the day as children learn new skills and try different things!
