Food Program
Infants
Our center will provide baby food and one type of formula that may be used with your consent. You may also bring in your own formula, breast milk, or baby food in labeled containers. The staff will monitor and record the food and liquid intake of each infant and toddler on the daily record sheet.
Toddlers
Mealtimes are a great time for toddlers to practice their independence in self-help skills, so we will encourage them to feed themselves. They, therefore, will be provided with bite size portions that can easily be manipulated with fingers or a spoon and will be encouraged to use a spoon, but fingers will also be acceptable.
Toddler & Preschool
The toddler and preschool children will eat morning and afternoon snacks, and lunch in family groups with a teacher at each table. We will be emphasizing self-help skills (pouring own milk, serving themselves from the serving bowl, cleaning up etc.), manners, and conversation skills. The children will be encouraged to try everything and not to take more than they can eat. Mealtime is an important component of our curriculum. A non-sectarian "Thank you for our food" will be said before eating.
*** Weekly menus will be posted. Lunch, morning and afternoon snacks are provided at NO additional cost to the family. We participate in the Child and Adult Care Food Program.
