Our philosophy in preparing our meals and snacks is to use wholesome and fresh ingredients, buying omega-3 eggs instead of regular eggs. We freshly bake oatmeal with raisins or oatmeal with chocolate chip cookies for snacks which children are involved in preparing with the guidance of a teacher. We follow USDA guidelines in deciding the quality and quantity of our servings. serving two snacks a day, morning snack/breakfast of milk and cereal sometimes with raisins or bananas, hot oatmeal with raisins and cinnamon and waffles with honey and an afternoon snack that includes 2-3 food groups.
