Breakfast promotions in Holzfreyung: Tasty and healthy for children!

A special breakfast project was organized in Holzfreyung on June 1, 2025, focusing on promoting healthy eating among children. The support association of the St. Paul kindergarten and the Holzfreyung elementary school has prepared numerous varied breakfast options in collaboration with the parents' council and committed mothers. The chairwoman of the support association, Karin Zillner, led the team with a lot of enthusiasm.

A variety of healthy foods were provided before the start of the long break. The selection included not only classic bread with butter, cheese or jam, but also creative skewers with mozzarella and mini tomatoes as well as cheese and grapes. Fresh fruit complemented the offering and ensured that the children could start the day with a balanced diet. These initiatives not only promote nutrition, but also the social and emotional skills of the youngest learners.

The importance of a healthy breakfast

The relevance of a healthy breakfast for children cannot be overemphasized. According to the Kindergarten Academy A good breakfast is crucial for the development of body and mind. It helps to avoid obesity, reduces sugar consumption and improves concentration and learning ability. Children who eat breakfast regularly are less prone to unhealthy snacks and develop a greater awareness of healthy eating.

In addition, having breakfast together strengthens the sense of community among the children and promotes social skills. This is particularly important for emotional development, which can benefit from sharing during meals.

Tips for a healthy diet

There are many approaches to a healthy breakfast in kindergarten. Choosing healthy foods is key. These include fruit, vegetables, whole grain products, muesli and yoghurt, while heavily processed products should be avoided. Taking children’s individual needs and allergies into account is also essential.

Another important aspect is the attractive presentation of the food, which serves as an incentive to try healthy foods. Parents and educators also play a critical role by working together to design meal plans and teach practical skills for preparing simple, healthy meals.

This initiative in Holzfreyung is not only characterized by its creativity, but also offers an exemplary example for other schools and kindergartens. The combination of healthy eating and social interaction shows how important breakfast activities are for the holistic development of children. The support the institutions receive from parents and the community is a key to the success of such programs.

Looking to the future, it is hoped that similar breakfast campaigns will be taken up in other regions in order to further promote awareness of healthy eating in society.
