Health & Nutrition at Brightside Early Learning Centre
At Brightside Early Learning Centre in Paralowie, we understand that growing minds and active bodies need high-quality food and nutrition to support healthy development in early childhood. Good nutrition plays a vital role in learning, energy, and overall wellbeing, which is why we are committed to providing balanced, nutritious meals every day within our childcare program.
Our dedicated and professionally qualified chef carefully plans and prepares all meals daily, using fresh, high-quality ingredients to ensure children receive wholesome and nourishing food throughout their day at Brightside ELC.
Each day, children are provided with a full menu of meals and snacks, including breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, and a late snack. Mealtimes are thoughtfully scheduled across classrooms to meet the individual routines and developmental needs of each child in our care.
Meet our chef Karen, who brings over 20 years of experience in preparing nutritious, child-friendly meals. Karen is passionate about creating healthy, balanced menus that support children’s growth, wellbeing, and development. Each day, she prepares fresh meals and snacks that cater to children’s dietary needs while encouraging healthy eating habits in a warm and welcoming environment.
