See our Seasonal Menus
Establishing healthy eating habits from an early age lays the foundation for lifelong health and wellbeing. At our Kool Kids Early Learning Centres, children enjoy a nutritious morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea, all prepared daily by our in-house chefs.
Seasonal menus are offered in all Kool Kids centres. Created by Gold Coast Nutrition and Health Coach Karla Gilbert, the menus are fresh, healthy, brightly coloured and tasty enough to tempt even the fussiest of eaters!
Having been approved by a paediatric dietitian, all menus also meet Australian Dietary Guidelines and recommended requirements. You can rest easy knowing your child’s nutrition needs are met at Kool Kids while being exposed to a variety of delicious tastes and interesting textures, which helps significantly in nurturing healthy eating habits.

We enforce a strict NO NUT POLICY and have a separate management plan for children with special dietary requirements. We also actively adhere to medical needs of children with allergies diagnosed by a medical practitioner.
