All menus are prepared according to the Canada Food Guide. Toddlers to Kindergarten-aged children are provided with two snacks and a hot lunch. School-Age children are to bring in bag lunches and will be provided with morning and afternoon snacks. The food is prepared on-site by a staff member certified in Safe Food Handling. The menus are posted on a weekly basis. Children are encouraged to try everything that is served at each meal and may have several servings if they wish. If the children do not want to try lunch, the staff will respect their wishes. Mealtime is made as pleasant an experience as possible for the children. The pace is leisurely and the children can take their time to enjoy their food. Special arrangements for religious or medical reasons can be discussed with the Director. Parents should inform the Director/Supervisor of any permanent or temporary food allergies or restrictions.
With the exception of Holidays, ‘junk’ food will not be served. Parents are asked NOT to send in candy, sweets, gum, potato chips or unhealthy snacks with their children.
