Food Program

Are meals and snacks provided at

the center?

We participate in the USDA Food Program and provide meals and snacks according to their guidelines. A copy of each week’s menu is posted in the front lobby and copies are available upon request.

 

Children are served the required minimum portion size of each menu item. If a child completes their entire meal they are allowed to ask for a second serving of one or all components of the meal so long as sufficient time remains in the meal period.

 

If a child refuses to eat we will offer the meal or snack again two more times. If they still refuse to eat they may be asked to remain seated at the table until meal service is complete (depending on the meal). Please understand, we will not force children to eat! We will however, indicate on your child’s daily report how much of each meal and snack your child ate. see sample menu
