Catered Lunch

 

Clanmore Montessori School offers an in-house Catered Lunch Program as an add-on option for all of our preschool and elementary School Day students (mandatory by law for all students 3.8 years of age and younger who stay for lunch).

Lunches are made daily, on-site in our school kitchen, by a trained chef, along with our Kitchen Program Co-ordinator.  Wherever possible, menu items are prepared from scratch – bread is freshly baked, sauces are prepared from fresh herbs and vegetables and meatballs are made by hand.

Two menus are created annually, each offering a four-week rotation.  In designing our menus, care is taken to ensure that lunches are not only nutritionally balanced but also pleasing to the child pallet. Presentation and plating are considered and service is generally family-style, allowing each child to determine the correct portion for him/herself.
