Typically our menu is adapted for age appropriate servings and ingredients. Our hot cereals are cooked with powdered milk and honey added at the end, or left out for dietary restrictions due to age or parental directions. We grind nuts and seeds for certain meals which provide added protein. These are served age-appropriately (over 18 months) and with parents' permission. We provide dairy and meat alternatives for those children with dietary restrictions.

We get children to eat vegetables more often by cooking and blending them in our sauces, such as our spaghetti sauce or in one of our frequent menu items: potato cauliflower stew with cheese.

Our policy it to provide whole foods, without processed. sugar, white flour or preservatives. Each meal is served with milk. There is a mid-morning milk or juice break at 10:00.
