Dayaa Early Learning And Preschool

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such kind words about our centre and for recognising the environment we have created for children and families. We truly value your feedback and your openness about what is important to you when choosing care for your child. At Dayaa, we have made a very intentional decision not to provide meals on site. This approach aligns with our educational philosophy, which places strong emphasis on children’s autonomy, readiness for school, and maintaining strong partnerships with families. We find that children benefit from eating familiar foods prepared at home, which supports their sense of security, respects cultural and dietary preferences, and helps us manage allergies with the highest level of safety. We also believe that bringing lunch boxes from home creates valuable opportunities for learning – from making choices, to understanding healthy eating, to fostering independence in mealtimes and self help skills, all of which prepare children for the routines of school. We completely understand that every family has unique priorities, and we truly appreciate your suggestion. If in the future we explore a different approach to mealtimes, we will ensure families are informed. Thank you again for your thoughtful review and for considering us for your child’s early learning journey.
