Healthy menus

Our bi-weekly seasonal menus are displayed on the kitchen noticeboard and provide several options which can be tailored to the individual needs of each child.

​

Mealtimes at Horizons

Children and staff share healthy eating patterns and positive attitudes toward food. We create a pleasant, culturally-appropriate atmosphere for children at mealtimes which encourages social interaction and learning. Mealtimes at Horizons Preschool:

• are relaxed and supervised to encourage healthy eating practices

• include a range of textures and tastes appropriate to the developmental stages of different age groups

• offer a variety of foods such as vegetables, fruits, lean meat, fish, chicken, milk, yogurts and cheese

• children are encouraged to drink water and milk throughout the day

​

Food allergies

Traces of nuts may be highly dangerous to children who are allergic to them. Because of this, Horizons Preschool is a ‘NUT FREE zone’. If your child has other food allergies, please share them with us and we will make accommodations. We want your child to feel comfortable and receive the foods which are best for them.​
