Arkie Early Education Centre is committed to making a lasting impact on the health and wellbeing of every child, teaching them from their early years how to lead a healthy, balanced life.
We respect that every child is different, with individual food preferences, appetites, cultural needs and own stages of reaching developmental milestones. We recognise that every child has a natural way of growing and consuming food that is right for them. As such, we encourage healthy choices and create a relaxed and inviting environment around meal times.
At Arkie we provide 5 meals throughout the day. Breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and if your child is with us later in the afternoon – a light supper to tie them over until they enjoy dinner at home with the family.
During these mealtimes, we enjoy time together with our children as it is not only a happy activity, but also an opportunity to teach and learn. For example, children develop fine motor skills when learning to use cutlery, they gain independence skills when helping themselves to the food they would like to eat.
To understand just how special Arkie is, you have to see it and experience how we do things.
We encourage all families to come for a tour, meet our teachers and explore our learning environment.
