Meals and Nutrition

 

Good nutrition provides a stable foundation for children to develop mentally and physically. Our well-balanced menu focuses on fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and vitamins and minerals. Some of the fruits and vegetables we serve come from our own organic garden, which is planted and cared for by the children under a teacher’s guidance. All meals are designed to be nutritious, delicious, and child-friendly.

 

Each day, our esteemed cook prepares a morning snack, lunch, and an afternoon snack in our commercial-grade kitchen. In coordination with our leadership team, she ensures that children with allergies receive the proper food. We are a completely nut-free environment. Additionally, All Starz offers a vegetarian option for lunch every day.

 

All three meals are included in the tuition and are served family-style in the classrooms. On a daily basis, the meals are served at approximately these times:

 

• Morning Snack at 8:30 a.m.

 

• Lunch at 11:00 or 11:30 a.m.

 

• Afternoon snack at 3:00 p.m.

 

During mealtimes, educators join the children at the tables, providing examples of healthy eating habits and encouraging the children to try new and exciting foods.

 

Monthly menus are distributed to each family and posted in all of the classrooms.
