Food preparation is part of the life skills curriculum at Montessori del Mar and this involves care of self and the environment. The children learn about nutritious, healthy foods throughout the year, including preparation, serving and cleaning-up of the daily snack.
Parents are asked to pack minimally processed foods for lunch and anything packaged or containing refined sugar is not welcome in the classroom. The lunchboxes around the classrooms are filled with vegetables, sandwiches fruit and salads.
Parents are asked to pack only healthy, balanced meals in reusable containers that the child can manipulate by him or herself. The learning Center strives for a zero waste lunch.
All snacks during the day are parent contributed and include organic nuts, fruits and vegetables.
We take pride in our healthy classroom!
