Morning Snack– Served around 9:30am, morning snack is a heavier, breakfast snack that will provide necessary nutrition and energy for the busy morning hours.

Afternoon Snack– Served around 3:30 after nap, afternoon snack includes fruit/vegetables, grains, and proteins. 

Food Allergies

If your child has a food allergy, you must notify us in writing so that we can make appropriate substitutions. Food allergies can be life threatening and each child with a food allergy should have an action plan for emergency care completed by the family physician.

Severe Food Allergies or Special Diets 

In order to ensure the safety of children with severe food allergies (extreme and rapid reactions, allergic to many foods, etc.) or those requiring a highly specialized diet (gluten free, strictly vegan, kosher, etc.), the school reserves the right to request that families bring their child’s food that has been prepared according to individual needs.
