Good nutrition is vital to children’s overall development and well-being. All of our child care menus include foods that are culturally diverse and seasonally appropriate. We also like to introduce new and different foods.

We strive to make our mealtime environment pleasant. We believe that sitting and eating with children provides an opportunity for positive role modeling and social interaction.
