Food as a pillar of wellbeing at Mafalda
At our centre we consider nutrition to be one of the three basic pillars of children’s wellbeing. In our daily work we dedicate an important amount of time to nutrition which, as well as favouring their healthy development, will lay the foundations for good eating habits in the future.
Nutrition in our centre expresses and understands how affectively we feed the children. For this reason, communication with the family is very important when conflicts or imbalances arise and the child does not want to eat.
Our menus are prepared by a professional specialist in children’s nutrition; they include a variety of foods and balanced dishes for each age level. We have a specific menu for babies and two other six-monthly menus for when solid food has been introduced.
In addition, we make individualised adaptations of the menus for children who have developed intolerances or allergies to certain foods.
