Food Philosophy
At WAO Early Learning Centres, we prioritise the well-being of our children, and that begins with instilling healthy eating habits.
Our commitment to promoting nutritious choices extends beyond the plate; we believe that what we consume is deeply interconnected with the environment that surrounds us. In our nurturing environment, we encourage children to engage in meaningful conversations about their food and the world around them, fostering a sense of curiosity and understanding.
Moreover, we empower our young learners by involving them in meal preparation and menu planning activities, providing hands-on experiences that not only promote healthy eating but also develop essential life skills.
“Provide many opportunities for children to experience a range of healthy foods and to learn about food choices from educators and other children.”
-The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia (EYLF)
