Our Menu

Everything we do is made fresh from scratch each and every day! From the time we peel and dice the onions to the moment we wash and select the raspberries, all of our food is prepared fresh that morning and served to you within hours. No processed food here……

Your childcare center starts out with 2 fruits for morning snack instead of the usual fruit and carb combo. The natural fruit sugars give the children enough energy to see them through their morning classes or play time and is light enough to ensure they have appetites when lunch is served. We make every effort to provide 10 different fruits each week based on cost and availability.

Our unique lunch menu currently consists of 21 different dishes from 15 different countries, but nothing stays the same for long. The menu is frequently updated as Koalaroo Catering is always researching and developing new taste experiences, adding a new dish here, resurrecting an old favorite there. As a client, you may enter through the secure log in, to view and print 2 full weeks of the menu.

The afternoon snack is carb based: seasoned breads, biscuits, and scones also offer a variety of taste experiences while adding meats, cheeses, and vegetables to augment the fruits and vegetables the children have already had that day. This type of snack also ensures that the children are less likely to be hungry by the time they leave your center at the end of the day.

All our dishes and snacks have been analyzed, first hand, by a dietician/nutritionist who has determined that our combination of Morning Snack, Lunch and Afternoon Snack provides the children with 95-110% of their daily nutritional requirements.                                     No third party guesswork here!
