The Dibber Meal™: Early Childhood Nutrition as A Fundamental Aspect of The Dibber Daycare Program


With double income families becoming the norm in India, more and more children between the ages of 1 and 6 are enrolled in daycare programs. While daycare was traditionally not a preferable concept, particularly in India, it is increasingly becoming the best option for parents who would like to continue their careers while providing the best childcare services for their children.


It must be understood that daycare is not just a place where children are supervised by adults. Parents are looking for safe and stimulating spaces where their children can be productively engaged, nurtured, and learn after school hours. This is also why parents invest so much time in finding the best daycare suitable for their child.


At Dibber International Preschools, we want children to feel at home under the watch and care of our warm-hearted and professional educators and support staff. The daycare program is available for children between ages 2 and 8, and parents can choose flexible timings based on their convenience. It boasts of numerous features including world-class infrastructure, social skills development through peer learning, activities to promote functional skills, and outdoor adventures. However, the Dibber Meal is probably its most striking feature, as early childhood nutrition is at the core of our educational philosophy.


What is the Dibber Meal?

At Dibber, we believe learning extends beyond textbooks and tests. It is about nurturing the whole child -- mind, body, and their soul. What better way to do that than through the heart of every community - the meal table? That is where the Dibber MealTM comes in. A revolutionary concept that goes far beyond simply providing meals to our children when they are at our facilities. 

The Dibber mealis an essential component for building connections—with people and with food. Sharing a delicious meal is a wonderful experience, and early child development relies on good nutrition and social skills.


Meals are undoubtedly a priority for parents and caregivers. Knowing that your child is eating, and their meal experiences are wholesome is our way of reassuring you of a wonderful learning experience for your child at our daycare.


Highlights of the Dibber Meal

  • Fellowship is at the heart of meals at Dibber. Children learn to interact with each other amicably by sharing the same meal together. This is important, so they can be curious together about what is served to them and learn to enjoy the similarity of the experience. This also allows us to maintain quality and nutrition for all.

  • A child’s confidence soars when they say, “I can!” It affirms their beliefs and strengthens their conviction to achieve through experimentation, encouraging them to serve themselves, eat by themselves, and practice good hygiene like washing their hands before and after meals.

  • Taste training is a method to depart from fussy eating and begin a flavorful journey. We try to introduce different foods to them through their developmental cycle, and this includes multi-cultural foods.

  • We stress using locally sourced foods because they are adaptable to a region's climate and our bodies process these foods easily helping maximum retention of nutrients.

Healthy eating is a habit and just like any other habit, it is learned by practice. Nutrient-dense foods supplement a child’s growing needs and allow their bodies and minds to function optimally. When a child is used to eating healthy, their tastes are attuned to such foods. Children who routinely consume healthy meals have fewer sugar cravings and are less fussy eaters.


The Importance of Nutrition in the Early Years

At the Dibber daycare program, offering a balanced diet for young children is not just a priority but our commitment towards holistic development. Our meals are more than just calories. They are carefully crafted by expert nutritionists, bursting with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, tailored to children's growing needs and tastes. We cater to dietary restrictions and preferences, ensuring every child receives a wholesome, delicious meal that fuels their learning journey.
