SENDCAA food program

Every child deserves a healthy, balanced meal. We participate in the SENDCAA Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), which helps us to provide up to 2 meals and a snack for every child, every day. Meals and snacks meet nutritional guidelines and are offered in age-appropriate portions.

​

meals

We serve breakfast (7am - 9am), lunch (11:15am - 12pm), and a PM snack (3pm - 3:15pm). During meals, the children sit together while we practice proper table manners, the use of cups and utensils, and how to clean up after ourselves when we finish eating.

 

sanitation

Proper hand washing is demonstrated throughout the day and before each meal, and we work with each child to help learn how and why this is such an important step for our health and safety. All surfaces are regularly sanitized, dishes are washed in hot, soapy water, rinsed and soaked in a sanitizing solution, then air-dried OR put through the dishwasher using the sanitizing setting.
