At Eeny Meeny Preschool, we believe that healthy eating is an essential part of a child’s growth, focus, and overall well-being. We provide four well-balanced, health-conscious meals and snacks daily, following the guidelines of the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). Our menu is thoughtfully designed to include nutritious, diverse options that children enjoy.
We are Food Handler’s Certified via ServSafe and intentional about the food we both consume and serve. Whenever possible, we select organic and non-GMO food options to promote healthy habits and mindful eating from an early age. Milk is served with all meals and snacks, and water is made available and offered throughout the day. Meals vary weekly to provide children with balanced nutrition and exposure to a variety of foods and flavors.
Daily Meal Schedule
| Breakfast | 7:45 AM |
| Lunch | 11:45 AM |
| PM Snack | 2:45 PM |
| Supper | 5:00 PM |
Children are offered each meal and snack, but we never force them to eat. We encourage children to listen to their bodies and develop a healthy relationship with food. We recognize that good dietary habits help prevent common nutritional issues such as cavities, anemia, and obesity.
🥦 Dietary Restrictions & CACFP Participation
If your child has any dietary restrictions due to allergies, medical needs, religious beliefs, or family preferences, please inform us immediately. In certain cases, a doctor’s note may be required to confirm the restriction. We will work collaboratively with families to determine if the child can participate in the CACFP program.
When possible, substitutions will be made to meet both dietary requirements and CACFP guidelines. However, if a compliant substitution cannot be agreed upon between the parent, provider, and CACFP, all meals and snacks must be supplied by the parent to ensure your child’s nutritional needs are safely met.
