Meals and Snacks

Through our Food Program, preschool children receive a nutritious breakfast or lunch. Children in childcare (full-day) receive breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack. Infants receive formula as needed. For many, these meals and snacks are the most nutritious part of their diet.
We serve meals family-style in small groups led by the teacher. Self-feeding, especially for infants, is a tactile and messy experience. Our teachers understand that this is an important phase of learning, and are patient with the children, as they explore and learn. We also teach children about good nutrition and appropriate eating habits.
