Healthy Eating at Tinytots
At Tinytots International Preschool, we prioritize nutritious and balanced meals that support children's growth, learning, and emotional well-being. Our meals are prepared using fresh, wholesome ingredients rich in vitamins and minerals — helping children stay energized, engaged, and happy throughout the day.
We follow the Danish Food Authority's guidelines for ages 0–6 and work to reduce waste while introducing children to a variety of flavors in a comfortable and encouraging environment.
Daily Meal Routine
Breakfast
Fresh fruit, wholegrain bread, cheese, butter, and milk to begin the day gently and nutritiously.
Lunch
Three days a week, we serve a warm homemade lunch. On other days, we offer open sandwiches and nutritious alternatives. Shared mealtimes help children develop positive food habits.
Afternoon Snack
Afternoon snacks may include oatmeal, porridge, yogurt, smoothies, seasonal fruits, bread, and cheese — supporting long-lasting energy.
Introducing New Foods with Care
Children are gently encouraged to explore new tastes at their own pace. Foods are introduced regularly so that familiarity and curiosity grow naturally. We rotate fresh vegetables and fruits to provide a diverse nutrient profile.
Cooking Together
We invite children to participate in simple cooking and baking activities, helping them build independence and learn everyday skills such as cutting, mixing, kneading, and preparing food.
Allergies & Special Dietary Needs
Please let us know if your child has dietary restrictions. We work with families to create respectful and safe adjustments. Water and milk are available throughout the day. Meals are made with low sugar and reduced saturated fats.
Shared Mealtime Community
Mealtimes are a moment for connection — children sit together, talk, listen, and learn to take turns. Eating together supports both social development and a warm sense of belonging. Recipe development is guided with the expertise of a clinical dietitian.
