At A.C.E Child Care Centre, we believe that nutritious food is essential for children’s growth, wellbeing and learning. Each day, our in-house cook prepares fresh, healthy and delicious meals for all children, right here on the premises.
Our menus are inspired by seasonal produce, children’s interests, and vegetables grown in our own garden. The children help care for and harvest the vegetables, learning where food comes from and how to nurture living things. These experiences help them appreciate the value of fresh, healthy food — and they love tasting what they’ve grown themselves!
A variety of foods from the five basic food groups is provided daily to meet every child’s nutritional needs. Our weekly menu is displayed on the noticeboard for families to view.
Each day, children enjoy:
- Breakfast
- Morning Tea
- Lunch
- Afternoon Tea
Meals are served family-style, encouraging children to serve themselves, practice table manners, and develop independence and social skills.
We also include cooking experiences as part of our curriculum. Through these hands-on activities, children learn about food preparation, sustainability, and making healthy choices in a fun and engaging way.
Our educators model positive eating habits and support children to develop a lifelong love of nutritious food.
A.C.E Child Care Centre follows a comprehensive Food Safety Program, and all staff are trained in food safety practices to ensure the highest standards of hygiene and nutrition are maintained.
