Do you want the school canteen to be a place where children feel cared for and motivated? At Weldon we share with you the keys to make this space special.
The importance of a safe and welcoming environment
An environment that fosters tranquillity and respect is essential to improve canteen service. A well-ventilated, well-lit space with an appropriate arrangement of tables makes children feel comfortable and allows for effective supervision.
As a monitor, your attentive and calm presence can reduce the restlessness of the children, especially the younger ones.
Personalised attention and positive reinforcement
Each child is different, and personalised attention is key in the canteen. Some may be picky eaters, others may eat too fast or be reluctant to socialise.
Knowing their preferences allows monitors to tailor their approach so that each child feels comfortable and cared for.
Positive reinforcement is very effective in encouraging good habits; praising children for trying something new or finishing their meal builds their self-esteem and confidence, improving their experience in the canteen.
Promotion of healthy eating habits
The canteen is an educational opportunity to teach the importance of a balanced diet. Little tips on the benefits of certain foods and easy recipes they can share with their families help motivate them.
It is essential to avoid pressure. Instead, children can be encouraged to try new foods in a respectful way, highlighting the benefits to their health. A healthy diet not only benefits their physical development, but also their academic and emotional performance.
Constant communication with the team and families
Collaboration and communication between the school monitor team and families is crucial to ensure comprehensive care for children in the canteen. Inform families about their children’s behaviour and progress and keep an open channel of communication to resolve any doubts or concerns they may have.
We take care of each child, motivating their growth
Improving care for children in the school canteen requires a combination of empathy, personalised attention and active supervision.
At Weldon, the school canteen is a space where everyone feels well cared for. At Weldon, we create an environment where every child feels supported and motivated to learn good habits.
