Helping childcare centres create a healthy, great tasting menu using KidiCater’s prepared meals.

Starting early, creating healthy habits for our young tamariki.

• Good nutrition is one of the cornerstones when it comes to health, learning, and growth.
• It is in their early years that children develop their tastes and attitudes about food and nutrition. By providing food that has a wide variety of tastes, ingredients, and textures, we help them build an acceptance of different foods; discourage fussy eating; provide them with a greater balance of nutrients for health, learning, and growth; and pave the way for a lifetime of healthy food choices.
