Meal Plans
At our center, every meal is planned to provide a balanced blend of nutrients, color, and fun. Children are introduced to a wide variety of healthy foods that support physical growth, brain development, and lifelong healthy habits.
Whole grains and lean proteins provide the lasting fuel children need for play and focus. Meals include items like pita, hummus, rice, cheese, and eggs, all prepared with care to support healthy growth and learning.
Meals rich in protein and fruits help build strong muscles and lasting energy for active learners. Each meal encourages curiosity, independence, and enjoyment of new healthy flavors.
Fresh fruits are offered daily to give children natural energy and important vitamins. From juicy oranges and apples to seasonal berries, our rotating fruit options help build strong immune systems and healthy eating habits.
