More than a meal
Mealtimes are part of the learning experience.
Mealtimes are an opportunity to learn, connect, and practice important everyday skills. Our teachers sit with children and model table manners, appropriate conversation, using utensils, and saying “please” and “thank you.” Through these shared moments, children build confidence, independence, and connection with their teachers and classmates.
HAVE SPECIFIC DIETARY NEEDS?
We want every child to feel comfortable and included at mealtime.
If your child has specific dietary needs and you prefer to send meals or snacks from home, you are welcome to do so.
