Meals & Snacks
Meals and snacks we provide
Each day I provide three nutritious and well balanced meals. I provide morning breakfast at 9:00am, lunch at 12:30pm and afternoon snack at 4:00pm. Milk is served with all the meals and snacks, and water is offered throughout the day. Food needs to be provided by the parents for children who do not eat solids for every meal. Below you will find a menu, showing an example of the different types of food I serve throughout any given week. The meals and snacks for each week constantly vary in order to ensure the children receive a well-balanced diet. The children are offered the food, but they will not be forced to eat. What is my goal? It is my goal to offer nutritious meals and snacks to the children in our care, as nutrition is a vital part of a child's health. Children need to eat well-balanced meals in order to meet his or her daily energy needs and to help them build a strong body and mind. I know that the good food habits a child develops will help them prevent cavities, iron deficiency anemia, and obesity, etc - all common nutritional problems in young children. |
