Proper nutrition is a prerequisite for a child's health, children grow and develop intensively, so in addition to basic needs, nutrition must provide enough for growth and development. The pyramid of healthy eating gives us a visual representation of food as a guide to what and how we should take into our body. The food pyramid consists of the following types of foods: cereals, fruits, vegetables, milk and dairy products, meat, fish, eggs, fat, oil. The diet that the child consumes should adhere to the pyramid of proper nutrition. It is very important to provide children with proper nutrition both at home and in kindergarten and school. Children often have food allergens, which require caution on the part of the parent, the kindergarten teacher, and help and react in dangerous situations at the right time. The body can react to the allergen immediately after contact with the allergen or after a few days. Allergies are not curable, but with the help of proper education, medication can significantly reduce and facilitate everyday life. Further research provided insight into dietary standards for diet planning in children in kindergartens and schools through menus and set norms. They arose as a consequence of encouraging the adoption of proper eating habits for health and disease prevention in early childhood. It is important that the child eats well, varied, quantitatively enough, to reduce the number of children with eating disorders. In the last part we can see an example of the kindergarten menu in the period from 01.07.2021. to 31.07.2021, and we find out how much the menus of today's kindergartens are harmonized with the recommended menus for the nutrition of children of kindergarten age.
