Meals

We receive USDA reimbursement for serving nutritious meals to both infants and children. Our menus are approved by the Department of Education and we have regular inspections to ensure quality and the health and nutritional status of the children in our care while promoting the development of good eating habits.  

    We serve breakfast, a morning snack, lunch, and an afternoon snack, daily. We also provide infant formula, infant cereal, and baby food for infants in our care though you may choose to bring your own. All of this is already included in our tuition rates!
