Our food program is centered around healthy habits, balanced nutrition, and consistency. We believe children learn best when they are properly nourished, and we encourage positive relationships with food from an early age.

Teachers model healthy eating habits by sharing mealtimes with the children and encouraging conversations about nutrition, healthy choices, and how food supports growing bodies and minds. We also participate in the American Kidney Foundation’s Reggie Rainbow Program, where children are introduced to a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables each week.

Children enrolled in our meal program receive healthy, child-friendly meals and snacks that meet USDA Child Care Guidelines.

Families who prefer to pack meals from home are welcome to provide breakfast, lunch, and snacks. To ensure food safety, we ask families to include an ice pack in lunch boxes. Due to licensing regulations, meals cannot be microwaved, so warm foods should be packed in a thermos if desired.

As children grow, they are encouraged to participate in everyday self-help routines such as pouring water and milk independently. While spills happen, these moments are valuable learning opportunities that help children build confidence, responsibility, and independence in a safe and supportive environment.
