Our Chef
John Ennis
Chef Johnathan Ennis has been cooking as long as he can remember. Going to high school in windsor Ontario where he was enrolled in high skills culinary. Competing in skills ontario and winning local black box competitions sparked his passion in Culinary arts. He went on to get his diploma in Culinary Management and has been preferring his skills ever since. Working in some of Canada's most prestigious hotels such as the Fairmont Royal York and Fairmont Lake Louise he decided it was time to move to the island. Working in luxary hotels in victoria and having a daughter of his own, he knew the importance of good nutrition for our little ones. He decided he wanted to be a better example of what healthy and delicious food, could be brought to our children.
Nutrition Philosophy
It is imperative that children develop good eating habits while they are young. We at Children of the Island take food children love and give them a healthy spin. Our menu is specifically designed to appeal to children’s palates. Our amazing lunches and snacks are healthy, delicious, offer plenty of variety and most importantly children will want to eat the food.
Our amazing chef have several ‘sneaky ways’ to add more nutrition to the children’s diet. They often add cooked fresh mashed vegetables to Spaghetti sauce, Sloppy Joes or Chili.
Children are impressionable and enjoy imitating their peers. Parents, educators, and other adults play an important role in shaping the child’s attitude toward the acceptance of nutritious foods. Educators in the classroom are expected to reinforce positive food attitudes by eating and socializing with the children at mealtimes. Meals are provided to all and served family style.
