Creating Positive Mealtimes at Bruce ECC
At Bruce Early Childhood Centre, in the nursery learning environment, our Educators have been working hard to make mealtimes more enjoyable and enriching for the children. Mealtimes give the children the opportunity to not only have nutritional experiences for the first time but also offer them valuable moments for growth and promote their sense of agency.
The Educators make sure that the children have a valuable experience during mealtimes by offering furniture and utensils that are in the correct proportions for each child. This helps the children feel comfortable and confident during mealtimes and lets them focus on learning and their own needs.
At Bruce Early Childhood Centre, mealtimes become more than just feeding, they’re about facilitating growth and learning in every way possible.
