We will serve a nutritional breakfast,lunch and an afternoon snack. Children must have portions large enough to satisfy their hunger. Food will be offered at least every four hours. We serve breakfast by 8:30--lunch by 11:30 and an afternoon snack around 2:30. We participate in the Child Care Food Program, which means we are reimbursed a certain amount for each snack and meal we serve. One requirement for the program is we plan a menu that meets nutritional requirements. We never force a child to finish what is on his plate, but we do encourage each child to try one or two bites of everything. Breakfast is a bread product,fruit,and milk. Lunch consists of a meat,bread product,vegetable,fruit,and milk. Each snack includes food or drink from two of the above mentioned groups.
