The nutrition component focus is on the overall child’s health and well being. Children are served two nutritious meals and one snack per day. These meals meet the State, USDA and Head Start Standards guidelines concerning nutrition. The meals and snacks provide children with ½ to 2/3 of their daily nutrition needs. Meals are served family style; bowls of seconds are placed on the table, which encourages interaction between the children and staff. Special menus are also prepared for children that have food allergies or life style eating habits.
