Kidville Talks About the Importance of Nutrition at the Children's Nursery in Dubai
Kidville, a popular children's nursery in Dubai observes that good nutrition can have a impact on a child's school attendance, is better able to focus, and are consistently more engaged than preschoolers with poor nutrition.
Dubai, July 2, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Nutrition is an important factor in any children’s nursery in Dubai and it's not something new to many parents. "Healthy, active, and nourished children attending nursery school are more likely to be well prepared, alert and motivated to learn as opposed to preschoolers who do not follow a healthy nutritional diet" explains an educator at Kidville in Dubai.
The primary responsibility of a kids nursery Dubai is not only to foster academic achievement, but also plays an important role in guiding children towards a healthier lifestyle by creating a healthy nutritional environment and promoting good eating habits.
It is important for preschools to encourage all children to make healthy eating choices and be physically active throughout the school day. However, Nurseries in Dubai cannot be held liable for the health eating habits of their preschoolers, if the meals are brought from home. The school will try as much as possible to encourage children to eat healthy and serve healthy snacks, when possible and approved by the parents.
However, preschoolers have unpredictable and unusual eating habits, as they are very picky eaters. Often there is a struggle between parents and preschooler about what they want packed in their lunch boxes and what they want to eat as opposed to a healthy meal. Also, some parents may insist on sending their child's meals as opposed to what is served at the school.
In order, to make sure a child has the healthy nutrition they need, Kidville advises that parents should pack small portions, provide water instead of juice or milk, so that the child will be hungry at mealtime, pack food that is low in fat or has healthy fats such as avocado, nuts or olives, introduce new types of food and recipes, pack food that are balanced, varied and tasty, includes foods from all the food groups and get creative with what you put in the child's lunch box.
"Most children eat with their eyes and will pop something looks attractive in their mouth. Focus on healthy food like cereal, bagels with spread or jam, juice, fruit, raisins, dried apricots, whole grain fig bars, vanilla wafers, animal crackers, pretzels, plain popcorn, tortillas with low fat cheese or peanut butter, carrots or cut raw vegetables, homemade pizzas made with a light salad. Remember never to force a preschooler to try every food or clean their plates as this can be harmful to a child’s future relationship with food " explains the educator.
All Dubai nurseries should implement a strong nutrition standard for meals and snacks , especially for those that are brought from home, to overcome challenges and support strong nutrition standards in the schools.
