 ASSIGNMENT QUESTION

The early years is an ideal time for children to begin establishing a healthy lifestyle.
Nowdays many young children spend the majority of the day at childrens centres. Thus, it is
important that teachers are knowledgeable about young childrens health, safety, and
nutritional needs.

Activities, environment, meal planning, and supervision should reflect a strong commitment
to promoting each childs optimal growth and development (Gupta, et al., 2005). One of the
most important things to do is planning a healthy yet balanced diet. According to Martin and
Oackley (2008), balance and moderation should be taken into consideration when planning a
menu for a good diet.

For this assignment you are required to plan the breakfast, lunch and snack menu for children
ages:
(a) 2 to 3 years old for a week.
(b) 4 to 6 years old for a week.

Each breakfast/lunch/snack item must include the amount to be served. You must design a
good and healthy diet.

Peringkat awal merupakan masa yang sesuai untuk kanak-kanak memulakan gaya hidup
yang sihat. Pada masa kini ramai kanak-kanak kecil menghabiskan sebahagian besar masa
mereka di pusat kanak-kanak. Oleh itu, adalah penting untuk guru-guru berpengetahuan
tentang kesihatan, keselamatan, dan keperluan pemakanan kanak-kanak kecil ini.

komitmen yang kuat untuk menggalakkan pertumbuhan dan perkembangan yang optimum
setiap kanak-kanak (Gupta, et al., 2005). Salah satu perkara yang paling penting untuk
dilakukan ialah merancang diet yang sihat lagi seimbang. Menurut Martin dan Oackley
(2008), menu yang seimbang dan sederhana perlu dipertimbangkan semasa merancang menu
pemakanan yang baik.

Bagi tugasan ini, anda dikehendaki merancang sarapan, makan tengah hari dan menu
makanan ringan untuk kanak-kanak peringkat umur:

(a) 2 hingga 3 tahun selama seminggu.

(b) 4 hingga 6 tahun selama seminggu.
