Nutrition

We know that good nutrition contributes to effective learning in children. Numerous studies have demonstrated that eating breakfast regularly will boost your child's ability to learn, to think quickly, to pay attention and even to get along with others. One recent study on childhood nutrition found that those who eat breakfast raise their math grades and improve their school attendance records. Children who regularly have breakfast in the morning solve problems more easily and are less likely to be restless or irritable before lunch. Other studies indicate that skipping breakfast has a negative effect on attentiveness, verbal fluency, memory, and the brain's ability to make use of new information.

Meal Menu

All meals served are created following the recommendations of the Canadian Food Guide and the Alberta Health Services. We are providing morning snacks, lunch, and afternoon snacks to children. 

Family style is encouraged during meal times to help model proper eating habits, table manners and build a stronger rapport with the children. All meals must be eaten at the table or held for infants. Any beverage bottles are not allowed during nap time as per licensing regulations.

The menus are posted at each campus to review and on the campus website under downloads. Should there be any alternatives prepared on the day, this will also be posted to be viewed and updated in the Hi Mama reports.
