Our Work
Food & Nutrition
Nutritious food is part of daily care. Regular meals, age-appropriate feeding and locally prepared food help children grow, learn, play and feel secure.
Food is daily care
Every meal supports growth, learning and stability
Food is not separate from the rest of a child’s wellbeing. It supports health, school attendance, concentration, energy and the sense of routine that children need.
Healthy growth
Energy for learning & play
Routine & stability
Local food, prepared every day
Meals are part of the rhythm of the home
Caregivers prepare food for the children as part of everyday life at Purple Rose. We use locally available foods and ingredients, with meals prepared at the home.
Keeping food practical and local helps daily care remain connected to the community around us.
Nutrition for every stage
Different ages need different kinds of care
Babies, toddlers and school-age children do not have the same nutritional needs. Daily feeding is adapted to age and to the practical needs of each child.
Young children
Regular meals and practical support for healthy growth and daily routines.
School-age children
Meals that support energy, concentration and participation in school.
