At
Honu Cove Café, Pineapple Cove’s cafeteria, children
two and over are encouraged to socialize through our family style
dining. Breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack are served at
Honu Cove Café daily. However, family-style is much more
than just the serving of food. Mealtime at Honu Cove Cafe is active
learning time and offers opportunities for discovery, trial and
error, and child-initiated behavior.
Family-style dining is defined as adults and children eating together,
sharing the same menu, and talking together in an informal way.
Family-style dining also means that children are allowed to eat
their meals and snacks in a manner that promotes the type of beneficial
activities they might experience in their home environment, including
activities that promote decision making, self-help skills, and
sharing and social skills through interaction with others.
On rainy days and special event days, Honu Cove Café transforms
into our little theatre, where the children enjoy a movie and
a bag of popcorn! Guest speakers, a puppet show, Parent’s
Nite Out, or the dance floor at the Pineapple Palace all happen
here!
