Meals at our school are served family style, which may include children assisting in table setting, serving and cleaning up. Menus include a variety of foods which meet daily nutritional needs for young children, as well as licensing requirements. Our menus are posted and copies are made available to you. There may be times when we have to substitute one food for another, while maintaining the nutritional content of the overall menu. Substitutions will be posted in order to keep you apprised of what has been served.

We encourage children to sample new foods and to taste what is being served; however, we cannot require children to eat or in any way punish them if they choose not to eat all foods served. If there are religious reasons, special dietary needs, or severe allergy concerns that would prohibit your child from eating what we are serving, please discuss the specifics with the school Director.

Federal Food (CACFP) Participation:
Our school participates in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). The CACFP is a federal program run by the USDA's Food Nutrition Services Dept. The primary goal of the CACFP is to improve the nutrition of children 12 years of age and younger. The program provides support to licensed child care programs to provide high quality, nutritious, and appealing meals and snacks to infants and children in our care as well as learning activities that support the growth and development of healthy eating habits. The CACFP strives to give children the foundation they will need to make healthy eating choices and good nutrition a part of their everyday lives.
