In today’s diverse and health-conscious society, ensuring every child’s safety and well-being at preschool has never been more paramount. While many focus on the physical aspects of safety, such as playground equipment and security measures, there is an equally crucial facet that often gets overlooked: meal planning. Among the myriad food allergies that children may present with, egg allergies rank as one of the most common, affecting a significant percentage of the young population. Consequently, the importance of egg-free meal planning in preschools can’t be stressed enough. Not only does it safeguard the health of children prone to allergic reactions, but it also fosters an environment of inclusivity, where every child, regardless of dietary restrictions, can enjoy meals without fear or exclusion. Let’s look at some examples of healthy, cost-effective meals, using local seasonal ingredients, that you can put on the egg-free menu for children during Wet season in your Nursery kitchen in Nigeria.
