Good nutrition, the development of healthy eating habits and learning about food choices are vital building blocks for young children. Provisions must be made to ensure that these building blocks are in place in order to promote good health throughout life. The goal is to asure that well-balanced meals are served and that good eating habits are taught to the children in our center.
