nutrition AT sMALL SPROUTS

At Small Sprouts we believe in promoting healthy eating habits to support your tamati’s growth and development. We encourage you to provide nutritious meals for your child during their time with us. Here are some guidelines:

Children need a variety of foods from the four main food groups to stay healthy and grow. These groups include:

  1. Vegetable and fruits

  2. Breads and cereals

  3. Milk and milk products

  4. Lean meats, chicken, seafood, eggs, legumes, *nuts, and seeds.

Why Healthy Eating Matters

Healthy eating not only supports physical health but also enhances your child’s quality of life and sense of wellbeing. By providing nutritious meals, you’re helping your child thrive.

Guidelines for Parents/Caregivers

  • Provide three healthy meals every day.

  • Offer a wide variety of healthy foods for children to choose from.

  • Include healthy snacks (low in fat, salt, and sugar) between meals.

  • Discuss with management before bringing foods into Small Sprouts for your child.

Meal Catering at Small Sprouts

We provide nutritious meals for your child throughout the day including catering for special dietary requirements. You are welcome to bring your child’s breakfast if they are here early.

Transition to School

When your child turns four, we will work with you to start Lunch Box Fridays. We understand that this transition can be both exciting and challenging for children and having familiar routines like using a lunchbox (even just once a week) can help ease the transition. By providing a lunchbox, you can help ease the transition. By providing a lunchbox, you can help our child become accustomed to packing and unpacking their own meals, fostering independence and readiness for school. We are happy to accommodate children’s meals in their own meals in their lunchboxes as they prepare to transition to school.

We’re Here to Support You

If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s dietary needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’re here to support you in providing the best nutrition for your child.
