Meals:
You will need to bring your child’s morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea in a named lunch box. We also recommend that your child has a drink bottle at the centre so that they can access own drinking water at all times. We will ensure it is refilled with clean water each day.
Please place your child’s lunchbox on the rack on arrival at the centre. If your child has any food allergies, please document this clearly in your child’s enrollment form.
At Mt Royal Early Learning Centre, we aim to support healthy eating which will promote children’s health and wellbeing. We have enclosed our Food and Drink policy and some suggestions for healthy lunch box food, which we appreciate your support with.
As part of developing self-help skills and taking responsibility, children are encouraged to participate in preparation for mealtimes and to help clean up after meals. Your child will be shown where the ‘Helping Roster’ is displayed so that they can participate in these routines if they choose to.
For infants and toddlers who require formula or milk in a bottle, please ensure there are always enough supplies at the centre for your child. We will ensure your child’s bottle is kept clean and hygienic.
