Child Nutrition
-
Our meals and snacks exceed the guidelines provided by the Child Nutrition Program of Southern California. Sugars, salts, preservatives, chemicals and fats are kept to a minimum, except during birthdays or other special occasions. Fresh fruits and vegetables are served with each complete meal.
-
Milk is served at every meal, and fresh, filtered water is available for all children at all times. As a rule, juice is not served at TK.
-
Children are encouraged to eat, but never forced. “Seconds” are not served until “firsts” are finished. (The exception to that rule is for infants and toddlers, sitting in high chairs, who are pretty much allowed to eat as much of anything ‘healthy’ they want.)
-
Please do not bring your child into TK with food. It can be disruptive to our schedule and it is not fair to the other children.
-
Special dietary needs will be considered and accommodated if a doctor’s note is provided.
