Our Meals

We believe in offering local, fresh, tasty food options for our tamariki.

At Village Green Early Learning Centre, we are proud to have partnered with Nourished Beginnings to curate a delicious wholefoods menu tailored specifically for our centres. We're passionate about providing our tamariki with locally-sourced, fresh, and delicious food choices.

In a childcare setting, and around the family dinner table we have the perfect opportunity to sit with the children and talk about food — encouraging them to explore new flavours and understand the impact of food on their bodies. A whole food diet lays the foundation for a resilient digestive and immune system, essential for a lifetime of healthy eating habits.

Whole food embodies the essence of natural nourishment, consumed as close to its original state as possible — free from additives, unprocessed, and with minimal exposure to chemicals. It's about understanding the origins of our food and the journey it takes to reach our plates.
