Meals

Healthful nutritious breakfasts, lunches, and snacks are served daily, following standards of the Federal and State Child Care Food Program.  Menus are posted on the bulletin boards each week.  All children, except for infants and toddlers, serve themselves family style.  Children are encouraged to eat all the food that they take, and taste a tiny bit of everything.     If allergies are reported, these foods will not be served to the child.  Allergies to milk and other foods should be reported and signed by a physician.     Children are encouraged to brush their teeth after eating, so please bring a toothbrush to be marked with your child’s  name. Naptime      After a busy morning of playing, being out of doors and interacting with other children they are ready to take a nap or rest after lunch.  This is also a licensing requirement.    Please bring a small pillow and blanket, and a stuffed animal, if desired, marked with your child’s name, for naptime.  These will be sent home for laundry occasionally. The center provides mats for sleeping, and launders all sheets and pillowcases used by the children on a weekly basis.
