In Jules Verne Riga French School the knowledge is as important as the feeling of comfort of the children. We have a commitment to provide good nourishment and a high quality food. The additional fee of 2.50 LVL per day allows the school to provide healthy and balanced meals. The food is prepared using as much organic and Latvian-grown produce as possible. There are three meals per day:
-
light snack at 10:00
-
hot lunch at 12:00
-
afternoon meal at 16:00
The parents are recommended to give the children warm breakfast before coming to school. It helps the child to start a day in the family circle and adjust better to the school’s schedule.

Importance of a balanced diet for children
The first rule for children to avoid overweight, as well as other health problems is a healthy, balanced diet. To help you understand how much and which products your child needes, nutrition experts have developed a healthy diet pyramid, where all products are divided into main groups. Pre-school children day should get 40% of cereals and bread, 35% vegetables and fruit, 20% for milk, meat and fish, and 5% oil and sweets every day.
Our children not always prefer healthy food, that is why it is so important to explore what children really like and supplement meals so that they would get all the necessary ingredients. In drawing up the kindergardens menu we payed attention to nutrition experts suggestions and developed requirements, combinig it with our preparation skills to make the menu both healthy, balanced and tasty!
