Our Kitchen at Junior Scholars Childcare
At Junior Scholars, we support children’s growth and daily energy needs through nutritious, high-quality meals and snacks. Our Surrey South location features a fully equipped, gourmet kitchen where meals are prepared onsite, while our Sullivan location offers a trusted catered meal delivery service. Across both locations, children in our full-time programs enjoy fresh, healthy, home-style meals and snacks every day.
Our menus are planned with growing children in mind, focusing on balanced nutrition, variety, and foods that help fuel learning, play, and development throughout the day. Providing meals as part of the program also creates consistency and routine for children, while giving parents confidence that their child is receiving nourishing food in a safe, supportive environment.
Mealtimes at Junior Scholars are also opportunities for learning. Children are encouraged to try new foods, build independence, and develop positive relationships with food alongside their peers and educators. We believe strong nutrition habits built early can support lifelong health and wellness.
FRESH + HEALTHY MEALS AND SNACKS
Our Infant & Toddler and Pre-K Daycare programs include a morning and afternoon snack, which is always served alongside fresh fruit and our lunches are prepared daily using fresh and nutritious ingredients. Lunches are always served with either salad or vegetables. Our menu has been designed specifically for children and exceeds the Canada Food Guide. We all sit together for our snacks and meals – teachers model table manners and by sitting together in a group children see others eating the healthy meals and are likely to try new items too. Children are encouraged to feed themselves and this enhances both their self-help and fine motor skills. Parents are required to prepare healthy and nut-free snacks and/or lunch for children in our Junior Kindergarten programs.
