LUNCH
FAMILY STYLE LUNCH AT LITTLE OAK PLAY SCHOOL
We prioritize creating a welcoming environment during lunchtime, where children can enjoy nutritious meals while also learning and socializing. We believe that a balanced shared lunch experience not only provides essential nourishment but also cultivates a positive attitude towards eating and promotes openness to diverse foods.
During lunchtime, children have the opportunity to gather together and share a meal in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. This communal setting encourages independence as children practice self-help skills such as serving themselves, using utensils, and eating on their own. Through observation and interaction with their peers, they further develop these skills, fostering a sense of confidence and autonomy.
