Meal and Snack Schedule

Our meal program will:
- Foster positive feelings about food
- Respect food restrictions of individual children
- Provide eating in a family-style atmosphere
Clearly labeled with the child’s first and last name and date.
For infants feeding time is very individualized, therefore, parents are required to provide the child’s formula and/or baby food and be clearly labeled with the child’s name. Once the child is beyond baby food and bottles, the center will provide a nutritious morning and afternoon snack as needed. You will supply your child’s lunch.
