As you will notice, our menu has been developed with the sound purpose of combating the growing Our role as educators extends beyond the classroom. It is our goal to set the wheels in motion for an overall healthy and epidemic of child obesity. We use only the finest ingredients, including whole wheat breads, pastas, and rices. We use fresh fruits and vegetables when available. We serve fresh fish at least once a month. We will avoid fried foods, notice no nuggets, french fries, chips, etc. Our products are prepared on-site, we do not cater, and thus we can control the fat, preservatives, and sugars in our foods.

Other ways that we are assisting our parents in raising healthy children is we brush the children's teeth after each meal. Also, in an effort to combat child obesity, our children are alloted a minimum of 1 hour of physical free play activity each day.

Please review our menu, and if you have any recommendations or recipes, please feel free to share.
