Healthy Choices
You Are What You Eat
Healthy food keeps us happy, and strong and it is the adults in a child’s life that play a vital role in helping children understand the nutritional value of the food they eat. Through rhyming, sorting, and counting we teach kid about “sometime” and “anytime” foods and the importance of eating five fruits and vegetables everyday.
But our job does not stop there. Not only do we teach the importance of healthy foods, we practice what we teach. KKLC provides healthy meals and snacks throughout the day.
Breakfast
Because we know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, we offer breakfast to each child between the hours of 7:00am to 8:30am. A healthy breakfast wakes up a child’s body by starting his/her metabolism and it provides the energy he/she needs for the rest of the day.
Snacks
Snacks are provided to each child in the morning and in the afternoon. To help each child eat a better overall diet, we provide snacks that are loaded with nutrients. These snacks include: fruits and vegetables, yogurt, granola, and more.
Lunch
Kids Kottage offers an optional hot lunch program for all children 12 months and older.
The lunches are prepared fresh daily and include the necessary servings based upon the food pyramid provided by the United States Department of Agriculture.
Our healthy foods and snacks are nutritious and fun for kids to eat!
For families that wish to provide their own breakfast, snacks, and lunches we simply ask that are healthy. Whether provided by you or by us, we want all the children to understand the importance of eating healthy.
