Eating habits are formed early in life, so it is important to provide children with a healthy and varied diet to establish good habits for the future.
Our Nutritious meals aim to inspire healthy eating behaviors in young children and improve their eating habits through provision of appropriate food, role modelling, food related activities, education and working with parents.
