Lifelong Healthy Eating
To extend our knowledge to you, we will share nutritional and healthy eating lifestyle tips through various avenues such as our Grab n Go program, newsletters, and other means of centre communication.
Throughout the day, we promote healthy eating by:
- Making mealtimes relaxed and comfortable
- Sitting and eating with your child
- Being positive about the healthy food your child will eat
- Teaching children about healthy eating through discussions, questions, games, and activities
For children 18 months and older, our meals are served ‘family buffet style,’ where your child can select their own portions and serve themselves with the assistance of educators. Not only does this allow your child to practice social and self-care skills, but they also become involved in all aspects of mealtime.
Overall, we practice healthy eating habits by modeling positive attitudes and healthy behaviours, practicing responsive feeding, and promoting positive meal times.
