Nutrition

Your child’s health, safety and wellbeing are our highest priority here at Bayside Early Learning Centre And Kindergarten. Children's early years are a time when food habits are being developed, many of which will be retained throughout life.

Creating healthy habits from such a young age improves children’s overall lifestyle and contributes to the positive development of both their physical and mental well-being, allowing them to reach their full potential.

In keeping with the National Regulations, we ensure all food and drinks are nutritious and adequate in quantity, we take into account dietary requirements appropriate to each child’s growth and developmental needs. We ensure any specific cultural, religious or health requirements are met. Our menus are also extremely adaptable to any preferences, and our qualified cook is able to work closely with families and children to combat any eating difficulties.

We offer:

• Breakfast
• Morning Tea
• Lunch
• Dessert
• Afternoon Tea
• Late Afternoon Tea

Mealtimes are enjoyed in a large communal group, where children can be independent but also socialise with each other. This further develops their self-help and social skills. Most importantly these mealtimes create a sense of community and belonging.
