Children are provided with balanced nutrition on the following schedule:
(schedules may vary somewhat from room to room depending on the ages of the children)
- Mid-morning snack is served at 9:00 consisting of 2 of the following: milk, fruits or vegetables or juice from fruits or vegetables, bread/grains, meat or protein
- Lunch is served at 12:00 consisting of at least 1 serving from each group: milk, meat or protein, at least 2 servings of fruits and/or vegetables, bread/grains
- Afternoon snack is served at 3:00 consisting of 2 of the following: milk, fruits or vegetables or juice from fruits or vegetables, bread/grains, meat or protein
Snack and mealtimes are planned to allow for eating and socialization. Children are taught proper manners to make it a pleasant time for all. Children are encouraged to eat a variety of food, but are in no way forced to eat something that they choose not to.
Lunch menus are posted on the parent board outside of each classroom and copies are available at the front desk.
State Regulations and guidelines are carefully followed or exceeded in regards to contents of the meals as well as preparation, storage, and sanitation of food and all other items used in the food program.
