Proper nutrition, as outlined in the Canadian Food Guide, is essential for children's growth and development. A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and protein supports their physical and cognitive development, strengthens the immune system, and promotes healthy eating habits from an early age. By following the Canadian Food Guide, we believe we can help ensure children receive the nutrients they need to grow strong, develop properly, and maintain overall well-being.
Our menu is tailored to our children's tastes to include their favorites like pasta, fresh fruit, and chicken, while slowly introducing new foods such as quinoa, leafy greens, or spring rolls. This approach helps expand their palate without overwhelming them, making healthy eating enjoyable and adventurous, while still providing essential nutrients for growth.
For children, small portions of sweets can be part of a balanced approach to teaching healthy eating habits, helping them learn moderation and self-control. Enjoying baked treats together as a group can also create positive food experiences and help the children form a tighter bond. By making room for things like cupcakes and cinnamon buns, it’s possible to foster a healthy relationship with food that emphasizes balance and enjoyment
