The purpose of this webpage is to show that I promote the use of nutritious and tasty meals and snacks for the children in my family child care program. My goal is to reach children before they begin to make their own eating decisions and help them establish good eating habits.
Please feel free to use the buttons on the left to learn more about the nutritional needs of young children, five steps to more nutritional menus, eating patterns of young children, the child and adult care food program, choices and substitutions, and our party celebrations procedure. Below you will find my weekly menus for the next four weeks. Also, please email me with any questions or comments you have regarding the meals and snacks that I prepare and serve the children attending my family child care program.
