Nutrition

Good nutrition is vital to children's physical and mental development. Our child care menus have been carefully designed to fulfill child care food program requirements, and to promote good nutrition and encourage the development of good eating habits that will last a lifetime. 

We serve fresh, organic, in-season fruit and vegtables, 100% whole wheat and multi-grains, lean meats, dairy-free yogurts, and milk to help nurish the growing minds in our program. We often make fresh squeezed lemonade or other fresh fruit juices as a class. Water is offered and available to children at all times throughout the day. We avoid products containing hydrogenated fats and high fructose corn syrup.
