Meals & Snacks are provided to your child and are included in the fee that you pay. Meals that are provided are prepared using guidelines set by the Child Food Program in association with the Department of Public Welfare. Menus are posted in a visable designated area with a full month of menus planned. Parents will receive copies of the menus in their "mailboxes" at the beginning of each month.
Menus are compiled using a healthy, nutritious and well balanced diet. Children will be served fruits, vegetables, grains, meats & dairy products as reccomended by the USDA.
**NOTE: Our facility prides itself on celebrating holidays with parties and "special snacks". At these times, cookies, cakes and ice cream may be provided to your child. If for any reason you do not want your child to have any of these items, please alert the provider on duty. (While any donations are welcome, they are not necessary.)
Due to the fact that we provide all food for your child, we ask that you refrain from bringing food for your child to the daycare center. We will gladly make exceptions to this rule on special occasions such as holidays or birthdays.
PARENTS WITH INFANTS; Infant formula and food will be provided with the price of your daycare. Upon enrollment, parent & provider will discuss brands of formula & food and a schedule that you as the parent would like the infant to be on. In cases of a change in formula or food, the parent will need to communicate this with the provider.
