​Nutrition/Hot Meals



Our menu, provides wholesome meals and satisfying snacks that meet federal and state requirements and guidelines established by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).  The food served in our daycare services is of key importance in the young child’s health. Meals and snacks include a variety of food groups including meat and meat alternatives, bread and grains, fruits, vegetables and fluid milk. Meals and snacks include carbohydrates, proteins and fat to give children energy, while maintaining total calories within recommended ranges specific to a child’s age group and level of activity. Every week we change our meal menus which you will have in every class for you to see what your child will be eating that week. If you notice something on the menu your child does not like please let the Director know and we will accommodate something else for your child to enjoy. 

 

 

 

Allergies

If your child has a special nutritional need or requires an adaptation to our menu, we will work with your family to create a plan that adequately meets your child’s needs.

Please notify your Director if your child has a known allergy or nutrition need.
