We are constantly lerning even in the moments we are not intentionally seeking new information or skill. This is the case in our educational centres as learning takes place constantly during the day and mealtimes are not an exception as they present opportunities to learn outside the classroom. One, they get to learn how to follow instructions as they make proper lunch lines and the older children give the younger children the chance to get served first. Secondly, they learn to develop the habit of cleaning their hands before taking their meals and the tap is conveniently placed next to the kitchen.
In addition, we also see the interactions that take place during these breaks between the students and their peers or adults as an important building block of their social skills as they learn to take turns, be respectful and for the much younger ones it contributes to their language development.
The learning that takes place during these breaks is proof that the benefits of the programme go beyond promoting health and encouraging school attendance and concentration in class.
We acknowledge that you are a big part of this learning process and we are truly grateful for your continued generosity.
