Meals and Nutrition
At My Little Star Daycare we strongly believe that healthy and nutritious feeding is an important part of our daycare services for young children.
No single period is as critical for nutritional well being throughout life cycle as the years from conception to age six.
Nothing can be compared to a healthy home cooked meal prepared with love. It’s our mission to help children to understand the value of good and healthful eating habits. So they can realize eventually that what goes into their bodies today could very well effect how they will feel tomorrow.
We serve breakfast and lunch always prepared from scratch and using only high quality food products. As our kitchen is kosher there will be no milk and meat served together.
But the breakfast will be always including dairy products such as hot or cold cereal with milk, grilled cheese sandwiches, pancakes, cottage cheese, etc
The lunch will be always served with the homemade soup and meat serving such as meatballs, chicken schnitzel, fish sticks etc. and accompanied by fresh crunchy veggie on a side.
The water and freshly squeezed juice served throughout the day
In addition the children will get 2 snacks –1 in the morning and 1 after nap. It will include fresh fruits, veggies, crackers, wholegrain bread, (yogurt and cheese or cream cheese in the morning snack)
Since we’ve been growing strawberries and some fresh herbs during summer season the kids were getting fresh snack straight from our backyard last summer.
As I’ve been always enjoying cooking for my family and friends, I also involve children from my daycare in some food preparation such as fruit or veggie salads, baking cookies and making pizza from scratch.
