Nutrition that supports the whole child
Meet Our Chef Iwona
Iwona brings over 30 years of experience in food preparation and nutrition, beginning her career in Poland where she completed her qualification in Food Technology and became a certified dietitian. Since moving to Australia, she has found her passion in preparing nutritious, home-made meals for children in early childhood settings.
At O’Briens Montessori in Modbury North, Iwona plays an important role in supporting children’s health and wellbeing through balanced, freshly prepared meals each day. She is dedicated to ensuring every child receives the nutrition they need to grow, learn, and thrive in a supportive childcare environment.
Her commitment to quality, care, and nutrition is reflected in every meal she prepares for both children and educators across the centre.
Health and Nutrition
Growing minds and active bodies need the right nutrition to fuel the development and growth of children. At O’Briens Montessori Centre we have a Chef that provides the children with healthy and nutritious meals throughout the day.
Each day, children are provided with breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and late snack. The times of these meals vary for each classroom and the individual needs of the children.
O’Briens Montessori Centre is a nut aware Centre.
At O’Briens Montessori in Modbury North, we are committed to supporting children’s physical health through nutritious meals, active play, and a safe, well-maintained environment. We encourage healthy habits from an early age to support children’s growth, wellbeing, and ability to learn.
