A Place Where Healthy Habits Begin!
Hello, dear readers! At Kensington School, we believe that a strong foundation for healthy living starts with proper nutrition. Our mission is to foster not only the curious minds of our young learners but also to nourish their growing bodies. Join us as we embark on a journey to explore the importance of a balanced diet for our little ones.
The Building Blocks of Health
Just like a sturdy castle requires a solid foundation, our children need a balanced diet to thrive. At Kensington School, we emphasize the importance of a diverse and nutritious diet that includes a wide range of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, proteins, and calcium.
Fun with Fruits and Veggies
We understand that introducing new foods to young children can sometimes be challenging, but we turn it into an exciting adventure! Our creative and caring teachers engage the children in fun activities that involve fruits and vegetables, making them eager to explore the colorful world of healthy eating.
Calcium
Whether it’s yoghurt for dessert or some delicious cheese in their meal, we are conscious that the children need a good dose of calcium for healthy growing bones.
Protein
Protein is the building block for healthy muscles and tissues. We introduce our students to a variety of protein sources, including lean meats, eggs, beans, and lentils. Our fun and interactive lessons teach them the significance of proteins in helping them grow big and strong.
Saying Yes to Whole Grains
Whole grains are like magic for our bodies. They provide energy and keep our tummies full for longer periods. At Kensington School, we opt for whole-grain alternatives like brown rice, whole wheat bread, and oats, ensuring our children are powered up for their daily adventures.
Hydration Happiness
Water is the elixir of life, and we encourage our little ones to stay hydrated throughout the day. We make drinking water an enjoyable habit, and our teachers lead by example, keeping their water bottles nearby.
Celebrating Healthy Choices
At Kensington School, we celebrate healthy choices! Our “Nutrition Champions” program acknowledges children who embrace nutritious eating habits. Through this positive reinforcement, we instill a sense of pride in making healthy food choices.
Involving Parents and Caregivers
Nutrition is a journey we take together. We actively involve parents and caregivers, providing them with tips, recipes, and educational materials to support healthy eating at home. By working hand in hand, we ensure our children receive consistent messages about the importance of good nutrition.
Growing Healthy for a Bright Future
We firmly believe that healthy eating sets the stage for a lifetime of wellness. By nurturing their bodies and minds with the right nutrients, our children are equipped to face the world with energy, focus, and a positive attitude.
Thank you for reading our blog post. We look forward to welcoming your little one to Kensington School, where we grow healthy and happy!
