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.
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.
SAFE FOOD PREPARATION & HYGIENE
A.C.E Child Care Centre follows its Food Safety Program, with staff trained in appropriate food safety and hygiene practices when preparing and serving children’s meals.
