FRESH, HOME-COOKED MEALS
AT A.C.E

We believe mealtimes are an important part of children’s day. 

Fresh meals are prepared onsite, and children are encouraged to enjoy food together,  develop independence and take part in experiences that help them learn about food and  where it comes from.

Mealtimes as learning

MAKING MEALTIMES A POSITIVE LEARNING EXPERIENCE 

Mealtimes provide opportunities for children to practise serving themselves, become more  independent and develop positive social skills. 

Eating together also gives educators opportunities to model positive mealtime habits and  encourage children to explore a variety of foods.

LEARNING WHERE FOOD COMES FROM 

Cooking and gardening are incorporated into children’s experiences at A.C.E. 

Children can help prepare simple foods, explore ingredients and take part in gardening  experiences. Our garden and vegepod also provide opportunities for children to see how  food grows and to care for living things.
