At Kids Academy, we know that good nutrition fuels confident learners. That’s why all meals are prepared onsite each day by our dedicated Centre Cooks, using fresh, seasonal ingredients children enjoy.
From babies exploring their first tastes to preschoolers serving themselves at the table, mealtimes at Kids Academy are calm, social, and designed to help children build healthy habits for life.
Below, you’ll find everything you need to know about our menus, mealtime routines, and family-friendly recipes.
Our menus change with the seasons so children enjoy fresh, tasty ingredients and the best nutrition every day. Each day includes:
You’ll see plenty of colourful veggies, fresh fruits, whole grains, lean proteins, plant-based options, dairy and alternatives, healthy fats, and of course, lots of water!
This summer, we’ve refreshed our menu in collaboration with The Biting Truth, Accredited Practising Dietitians and leaders in early childhood nutrition. With over 10 years of experience working with early learning services, they know how to create meals that are nutritious, practical for cooks, and loved by kids.
