Onsite Food Preparation

Our centre is facilitated with a 600 sqft professional commercial licensed kitchen, which gives us the unique ability to cook all of our meals from scratch. We are proud to be one of the few child care centres in the GTA who have the full license for the commericial grade kitchen. By cooking on site, we can guarantee that our food is always fresh, tasty, and healthy.


Food has a significant impact on a child's development, health, happiness, and well-being, and we strive to provide the highest quality ingredients possible. We have created a nutritionally dense menu, featuring a variety of healthy seasonal foods, organic and locally-grown when possible, globally inspired from different cultures. Our menu is not only healthy, it's delicious. We promote a healthy eating child care environment that fuels both the body and mind.

Our Menu

We are focused on achieving optimal health through whole foods and a balanced lifestyle, which will give your children a nutritional edge during their crucial development years.
