Meal and Snack Practices
Children are served nutritious meals and snacks in accordance
with the guidelines set by
the CCAFP national food program. All meals are prepared based
on the Food Guide
Pyramid. The pyramid lists (3) basic requirements for a healthy
diet: variety, moderation
and proportion. It outlines which foods should be eaten daily
and are part of a nutritious
diet. A serving consists of approximately one tablespoon of
each food per year of life.
