We have a six week rotating menu that reflects winter and summer food
selections. This ensures we are introducing the children to the concept
of seasonal produce and a variety of fresh foods from many cultures.
We offer five meals a day at Kinder Haven and this includes a hot
dinner, served at around 4:30pm. We are passionate about teaching
children about healthy foods and the goodness of fresh produce,
particularly that which we grow ourselves.
Your child will enjoy healthy eating at Kinder Haven, thanks to the
successful implementation of the Start Right Eat Right Award which
recognises best practice in nutrition and food service in long day care
centres. This program ensures that children attending our centre are
provided with at least 50% of their recommended daily nutritional
intake. As part of our nutrition policy the staff ensure that your
child’s mealtime environment is positive and supports healthy eating
habits.
All our rooms conduct regular cooking experiences with the children
throughout the year. These activities allow the children to participate
in mixing ingredients, tasting the final product and being exposed to
cooking and maths concepts in a fun environment. These experiences are
always very popular with the children and the educators!
