Health & Nutrition
Growing minds and active bodies need the right nutrition to fuel the development and growth of children. At O’Briens Montessori Centre we are a lunch box centre. This means that families are required to pack a lunch box for their child each day.
Throughout the day we have three meal times; Morning Tea, Lunch and Afternoon Tea. We recommend packing a minimum of two items for each meal time.
To ensure that food safety regulations are followed, we have a fridge in our foyer to place your child’s lunch box in.
O’Briens Montessori Centre is a NUT FREE centre.
We encourage a balanced diet for children. Please see the image below of the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating.
