Meals and snacks will be served according to USDA Food Program regulations. If your child has allergies, it should be noted on your program form. If your child requires a specific diet, the food must be labeled with the child's name and dated, and pre-approved by the childcare facility. These foods will be stored in a separate container, either in the refrigerator or in a kitchen cupboard.
Unfamiliar or less popular foods are served in smaller portions. Children do not have to finish all of the food served, but seconds will be offered only after what was initially served has been eaten. In keeping with health standards, hot foods shall be kept hot and cold foods cold.
The above is an example of a typical day's meals. Menus vary and are planned to meet USDA nutritional guidelines.
