August menu 2022 August Vegetarian Menu 2022
Our goal is to provide a variety of healthy foods in our breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack. We try to minimize sugar and maximize servings of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Whole (Toddler I’s) or 2% (Toddler II’s and Preschool) cow’s milk, water, or juice (once/week) is provided with meals. Meals for infants consists of formula (Similac Advance w/ Early Shield), Gerber baby food, and then strained and/or mashed food prepared by our kitchen staff. Parents may bring a different formula or expressed milk for infants. We have a nursery available for mothers who prefer to nurse. Meals are served family-style in the classrooms. This model helps children learn how to serve themselves and each other, develop fine motor skills, experiment with portions, and make meal-time fun. When mealtime is over, the children assist in clearing the tables by emptying their dishes and returning them to the tray. Meals are planned on a monthly basis. We offer a standard menu and a vegetarian menu, both of which are covered by tuition. In an effort to promote healthy eating habits and strong bodies, we will be increasing our offerings of fresh fruits and whole wheat items. To read more on our menu changes, please click here. As CACFP participants, all of our menus meet the FDA’s Child & Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) guidelines. To review a Power Point presentation of these guidelines, please click here.
