Our Academy is committed to providing your child with three healthy and balanced meals/snacks every day. Our meals will exceed the U.S.D.A. requirements for nutritious meals and snacks appropriate for the ages of each child. Our meals are kid-friendly, nutritious, and healthy. There is NO additional cost to the parent for this as this is included in the monthly tuition. The children will be provided with a morning snack, lunch and an afternoon snack.
A menu detailing each week’s selections will be available to parents on our website. Accommodations will be made for children with dietary restrictions. Parents with infants still using formula and jarred baby food should bring those items to the center. Formula will be stored in a safe area. Formula brought from home must be labeled with the infant’s name and date on it. We recognize that mother’s breast milk is the ideal food for her infant. Bottles prepared at home must be capped and transported properly in an insulated bag or cooker and placed in our refrigerator immediately upon arrival. Glass bottles are prohibited and BPA-free bottles are encouraged. All breast milk bottles must be prepared at home and brought in ready to feed. Any bottle requiring to be warmed up will be done in a cup of warm water from the faucet. Microwaves will not be used to warm bottles, milk, or any other infant food.
We ask that your child does not bring any candy, gum, or soda to our Academy.
Please advise us if your child has any special dietary needs. For example, if your child is allergic to peanuts we need to know. Also, if you have an EpiPen for your child, please provide that to us. (Teachers will be trained to use on an as-needed basis) If your child has unique needs, such as, can only drink soy milk, we ask that you provide that. We will mark the item with your child’s name, so that it will not be used by others. Also, if there is something specific that you want your child to have on a daily basis, please provide that. If your child has very specific dietary needs or allergies it may be required that you provide food for them on days where there is a conflict. Please see the weekly menu and contact the office to make decisions about your child.
