Our Kai
Our onsite chef cooks our tamariki their meals for the day. Our menus exceed the Ministry ofHealth’s expectations and guidelines for toddlers and pre-schoolers healthy eating. They are low in sugar and salt and include lots of plant-based ingredients and whole foods. Our menus are reviewed and updated each season although there are some favourites that stay - like our delicious black bean brownies.
We use local sustainable, clean and cruelty-free produce to align with our centre’s philosophies.
We know so many families are over the moon about their child eating lots of different fruit and vegetables at the centre and now at home too this keeps their energy levels nice and balanced for quality learning and socialising.
