We prioritise healthy, balanced meals, ensuring children receive nutritious, fresh, and diverse food daily. Special dietary needs are accommodated, supporting children’s growth and well-being in our nurturing environment.

Fresh, Nutritious Meals Every Day

At St. Catherine’s Early Education Centre, we are committed to providing children with healthy, balanced meals that fuel their growth and development. Our fresh, in-house meals ensure every child enjoys nutritious and delicious food throughout their day.

Healthy, Balanced Meals for Growing Children

With children receiving 50% to 70% of their daily food intake while in our care, we prioritise meals packed with the essential nutrients they need to thrive. Our in-house chef prepares five fresh meals daily, including morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea, all designed to be both nourishing and enjoyable.

Specially Designed Menus

Every meal is thoughtfully crafted to cater to children’s dietary needs, with a variety of options to keep mealtimes exciting. We proudly maintain a nut and egg-free environment to ensure the safety and well-being of all children in our care.
