About Our

Healthy Sprouts Program

At The Fern Early Learning Centres, your child is part of every step in the food journey. From planting herbs and vegetables in our garden to helping prepare healthy meals. This hands-on involvement builds real-world skills, encourages curiosity around food, and deepens their connection to healthy eating. We talk about nutritious choices using the food pyramid, helping your child understand which foods fuel their body, which ones to enjoy occasionally, and how to build a balanced plate.

  • Garden to Plate: Fresh produce from our centre garden is used in daily meals.
  • Little Chefs: Your child joins in age-appropriate cooking experiences guided by our centre cooks.
  • Taste Exploration: We introduce a wide range of fruits, veggies, proteins, and grains to develop healthy habits early.
  • Seasonal Variety: Our rotating menus change daily and reflect both Autumn/Winter and Spring/Summer flavours.
