Tasty and nutritious snacks, a hot lunch, and in some of our schools, breakfast, is provided each day. We know that having a hot, nutritious "dinner-style" lunch is important both to the children and their families.

After a long day, parents can serve a light evening meal with the confidence that nutritional needs have been well met for the day.

Snacks, whether warm fresh baked muffins, or home made granola, are provided with the frequency and adaptations appropriate for the ages of the children.

We always meet, and usually exceed, established Child Nutrition Guidelines to assure that your child’s nutritional needs are met.

Lunch for preschool and older children is served "home-style". A teacher sits at each lunch table, modeling appropriate table manners and behavior and providing guidance in learning to self serve, to pass serving dishes with appropriate manners and health considerations, and
to participate in polite and appropriate conversation.
