In the kitchen

Our nutritional educator Jo has worked at Stanmore Kindy for over 12 years. Jo holds a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and has a passion for cooking, healthy eating and education.

Like any family home, we want the kitchen to be the heart of the home, a place where the smell of nurturing home cooking greets you on arrival.

As food is a key part of all our cultures we want to create a place where our community can come together to share meals and to encourage the children to understand where their food comes from.

Our daily menu is inspired by fresh, seasonal ingredients and local produce, including our own garden. Meals will meet the children’s dietary and cultural requirements and cater for individual children including allergies. Where possible food is prepared in front of the children or with the children to express how much joy we gain from cooking and presenting a beautiful meal, enjoyed together.
