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 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.
We encourage a balanced diet for children. Please see the image below of the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating.

Michelle has a wealth of knowledge and is passionate about food, nutrition and gardening.
Michelle likes learning what children enjoy to eat and watching them become exposed to new foods.
“Children are provided an opportunity to enjoy foods as much as play, with fresh seasonal and nutritious meals. Exploring sensory activities and cooking experiences encourages a development of a healthy food relationship. Let food be the adventure!”
