Playground to Plate

At Bayswater Childcare and Kinder, we believe that developing healthy eating habits and an appreciation for fresh, nutritious food begins in early childhood. Our Playground to Plate program is designed to give children a hands-on experience in growing, harvesting, and enjoying fresh produce straight from our garden.

Through this program, children actively participate in planting, nurturing, and harvesting fruits, vegetables, and herbs. They learn about where food comes from, how it grows, and the importance of making healthy food choices. Our educators and staff guide children through interactive gardening activities, helping them connect with nature while developing a sense of responsibility and care for the environment.

Once the fresh produce is harvested, it becomes part of our nutritious centre meals. This real-world connection between garden and plate encourages children to try new foods, understand the value of fresh ingredients, and develop a lifelong appreciation for healthy eating.

By engaging in our Playground to Plate program, children not only gain essential knowledge about food and sustainability but also experience the joy of growing and sharing food with their peers. This hands-on approach fosters curiosity, creativity, and a strong foundation for a healthy and active lifestyle.
