Nutrition
Improving long-term health by nourishing children today.
"Children naturally love natural foods. Their genetic makeup is designed to consume nature’s bounty without any coaxing or effort; they naturally love fruits and vegetables.“ - Dr. Joel Fuhrman
Early childhood provides a key opportunity to establish healthy dietary patterns, impacting growth and development in the short-term, as well as setting the foundation for healthy eating habits in the long term.
Our nutrition education includes:
-
Teaching children the difference between processed foods that are filled with unnatural ingredients, preservatives, and sugars, rather with healthy foods that fill our plate and tummies.
-
Daily emphasis on how healthy foods benefit our bodies.
-
Serving food that contains no additives, artificial flavors or colors.
-
Providing a range of diverse foods, with a variety of textures, to help children expand their palette and food choices at a young age.
-
Family style dining philosophy which improves children’s fine motor skills, promotes pride in the food they eat, and encourages independence through sharing healthy, nutritious meals together.
-
Learning how to grow vegetables and eating freshly picked vegetables for meals and snacks.
-
Child participation in the preparation, serving, and clean-up of meals.
We understand the importance and complexities of your child's allergies and intolerances, so we ensure that they receive a substitution of equal nutritional value. Your child’s safety is of the utmost importance to us and we have created an environment to reduce any allergen exposure.
