World Animal Cafe - Dining Room

‘The older child use our separate World Animal Café each day.

Dining Room

This shared dining experience promotes the following;

  • Social skills. Children learn to say, "please" and "thank you." They learn to ask for what they need and take turns.
  • Promotes language and vocabulary development. Children learn the names of new foods, and adults can model complex language around the size, colour, texture, taste, and smell of foods. Meals are also a natural time for conversations about interests and ideas.
  • Models manners and how to use utensils.
  • Establishes warm relationships between children and their peers.
  • Promotes hand-eye coordination.
