+ Nutrition
Childcare centers play a crucial role in the daily lives of many children, often becoming their primary environment for a significant portion of the day. Ensuring that these children receive nutritious and wholesome meals during their time here is of utmost importance.
At Firm Foundation Childcare, we prioritize offering a diverse selection of fresh fruits and vegetables to children on a daily basis. Our commitment extends to providing nutritionally balanced meals crafted from top-quality ingredients to meet their daily nutritional requirements. Our comprehensive meal plan includes breakfast, lunch, and a wholesome snack, ensuring that every child receives the nourishment they need.
We firmly advocate for the use of natural ingredients, driven by mounting evidence suggesting that fruits, vegetables, and grains in their unadulterated form offer a wealth of nutrients, including essential vitamins like vitamin C, vital minerals such as iron, magnesium, and phosphorus, all while minimizing exposure to nitrates and pesticide residues.
The health of our children hinges on the consumption of whole foods. As childcare providers, we take pride in offering an array of fresh, natural, and unprocessed foods, encompassing unrefined grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, fruits, and vegetables. These whole foods are the cornerstone of your child’s growth, nurturing both their physical and mental vitality.
