Mealtime is a joyful experience, thanks to our talented in-house chef, Nitesh! Every day, he prepares healthy, delicious meals that cater to a variety of tastes, from multicultural cuisine to comforting favourites like pasta and noodle dishes.
We’ve also introduced fun and interactive cooking lessons, where children can develop basic cooking skills while enjoying hands-on experiences. Additionally, they actively participate in planting, harvesting, and learning about fresh produce in our community garden. Together, we’re nurturing a love for nutritious meals and sustainable practices.
