As is well known, mealtime has a very important symbolic and relational value in the lives of each one of us,

adults and children, as well as in a community, be it infant-toddler center or preschool, where children have

the opportunity to experience this moment with other children.

They learn how to feed themselves, but also and above all their palate is educated in relation to the ways in

which food is presented at mealtimes, and they learn what mealtime means in their local culture.

Lunch therefore does not simply mean satisfying physiological needs but is a multisensory context that

involves taste, smell, sight, the sensations of hot and cold, and the consistency and volume of foods. This

context is also made up of light, smells, sounds and noises, where eating becomes an important moment

of interacting with others.

Meals can be an opportunity for self-sufficiency, self-control, learning, pleasure, and friendship. It is therefore

necessary to create an environment where the furnishings, the lights, the proximities and distances are able

to support intentional exchanges and encourage self-sufficiency in a setting that is warm and responsive,

where the cultural meaning and the cognitive and emotional potential of lunchtime are made explicit

A cart for transporting food to the tables, designed

to facilitate the children’s participation in

setting the tables, serving, and clearing

up afterwards. The dish-holder surfaces are

therefore good sized and at the same time

easy to clean.
