Eating and drinking are a part of the educational process at Casa. Children need never bring their own food and drink to school.
At Casa, healthy, vegetarian and predominantly organic food and drinks are prepared and eaten daily with the children. In the morning, the children in the class prepare a healthy snack together. We have a special snack table where children can snack together or alone. Every afternoon the children eat a freshly prepared healthy lunch. For the younger children cooking is done for them and in the Lower Elementary and Upper Elementary the children cook for their own group under the supervision of a cook. We believe that by allowing children to come into contact with healthy food early on and by teaching them where food comes from, they discover the value of healthy eating. In addition, children develop their motor, social, reading and math skills during preparation.
