Nourishing Growing Minds
Fresh, chef-prepared meals served daily — because healthy bodies build healthy minds. All meals are included in tuition.
Food Is Part of the Curriculum
At Meridian, mealtime is a learning experience — not just nutrition, but independence, community, and culture.
Fresh & Whole Ingredients
Every meal is prepared on-site daily with fresh, whole ingredients. We minimize processed foods and prioritize seasonal produce.
Balanced Nutrition
Each meal is planned by a nutritionist to include the right balance of protein, healthy fats, complex carbohydrates, and vitamins for growing minds and bodies.
Montessori Mealtime
Meals are part of our curriculum. Children set the table, serve themselves, pour their own water, and clean up — building independence and practical life skills.
Variety & Exposure
We introduce children to a wide range of flavors and cuisines. Studies show that early exposure to diverse foods leads to healthier eating habits for life.
