Ensuring Your Child is Well-Nourished
You want your child to eat well and be happy, healthy, and active- we couldn't agree more.
Healthy and well-nourished young children are more likely to develop to their full physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional potential if they are provided with healthy snacks and meals. That's why we provide nutritious meals and snacks to meet the needs of rapidly growing bodies and minds.
Kidz Kafé meals and snacks include versions of our kid favorites made with healthier ingredients, like yummy whole grains, proteins to keep bellies full, plenty of colorful fruits and vegetables—and low-fat, milk. But do they try it? You bet! Our chefs do a masterful job of introducing the wonderful world of flavors to children and their developing palates. We've created our recipes with our children's taste in mind.
Our Food Program
Discovery Place Preschools' food program is committed to:
- Serving high quality, nutrition meals.
- Teaching each child (even our two-year-olds) setting the table with their friends while practicing "please" and "thank you," and serving themselves from big bowls (we don't mind a little mess).
- Teaching our children "family-style dining" which builds an I-can-do-it-myself confidence and puts love on the table, along with good food.
- Creating strong classroom communities.
- Encouraging parents to join us for a meal with their kids anytime.
We love it when families share a meal with us!
The Learning Doesn't End at Lunchtime
Our approach to nutrition is as thoughtful as our approach to reading, the arts, and everything else we teach, which is something we are extremely proud of! After all, it takes a community of caring adults to raise a healthy eater!
We are proudly a nut-free environment. We also try to make sure that we do not serve common allergens and can accommodate menus based on your child's allergies or food sensitivities under the consultation of your child's physician or nutritionist.
