Food and Nutrition
Good Nutrition at Children’s Village
Good food and nutrition play a critical role in the health and well-being of children. Children’s Village follows Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) guidelines to ensure meals are well balanced and nutritious. We provide our kids with breakfast, lunch, and regular snacks, comprised of things like fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and milk options including soy. Children who eat well are happier, more focused, and better able to succeed.
Formula and Baby Food
Through all of our meal offerings, we want to be able to provide meal options for children of all ages. That’s why baby food and formula are included in Children’s Village enrollment packages. For formula, we are happy to provide whatever type of formula your family uses. For baby food, we offer food from Gerber and Beechnut.
Special Diets
Whether it’s due to parental preference, religious requirements, or medical needs, many of the children we care for have special dietary considerations to take into account. We work to accommodate these requests while sticking to the guidelines provided by the CACFP. For medical need requests, including allergies, we do require a physician’s statement detailing what to avoid and proper substitutions, as required by state regulations.
If you have any questions about our food practices or how we handle special dietary requirements, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
