What nutrition guidelines do you follow?
What nutrition guidelines do you follow?
Our philosophy is to provide age-appropriate, fresh, organic, and minimally processed meals to children whenever possible. Currently, over 75% of the food and snacks we serve are organic (including items like milk, bananas, carrots, raisins, eggs, meat, etc.). We also take care not to overcook food, so that nutrients (and natural flavors) are preserved.
We’re proud to be known among families for the quality of our food. We put a lot of time, thought, and heart into every meal because we believe healthy eating is an essential part of helping children grow, learn, and thrive.

However, if your child has any allergies or is on a particular diet, plese let us know and we would be happy to accommodate.
