Healthy food loved by little learners at our preschool in Auckland
At Treetops Early Learning Centres, we believe good food fuels growing minds and bodies. That’s why our onsite cooks prepare fresh, nutritious meals every day. These child-friendly dishes are full of flavour and made with little taste buds in mind.
Parents often ask us for recipes. So today, we’re sharing 3 of our most popular ones. They’re quick, easy, and perfect to make at home. These favourites come straight from our kitchens in Botany Town Centre, Botany Junction, and Pukekohe – and tamariki love them.
Our Lunchtime Routine at Our Auckland Preschool Centres
Before we dive into the recipes, here’s a quick look at lunchtime at Treetops. Lunchtime is more than just eating at our preschools in Auckland. It’s a time to build routines, learn healthy habits, and grow independence.
- First, children wash their hands before sitting at the table.
- Next, we say a calming rhyme and a short prayer to settle everyone.
- Then, under 3s are served by our teachers, while over 3s serve themselves. This helps boost confidence and coordination.
- Teachers sit and eat with the children. They model good table manners, healthy eating, and positive behaviour.
- After eating, children clear their dishes onto the trolley. They wash their hands and faces, then wait patiently for friends before heading off to play and learn.
Safe, Healthy Food Every Day
We follow strict Health and Safety Guidelines in our kitchens, guided by the Healthy Heart programme. Each recipe is planned to meet children’s nutritional needs and suit small hands and appetites.
Healthy Meals for Happy Learners
We know a strong food culture early in life supports lifelong wellbeing. Whether children serve themselves, try new foods, or help tidy up, lunchtime at Treetops is full of learning.
