This kindergarten has the goal of making food from scratch and using food that has not been processed, precooked to make ingredients last longer, only use fresh vegetables. They have the goal of only buying Icelandic products/organic products for the meals for the kids.
These practices are used to underline for children at a young age how important good fresh products are for them and give them the early lesson how much difference there is between buying good products versus mass produced cheaper products and to have children eating healthier in general as it is vital for their growth.
They actively monitor all the children to get the right amount of each food category required for them each day. With the challenges of being in Iceland where a lot of products are imported due to weather condition are not favorable for organic farming of many fruits and vegetables, they only import organic products.
