The Early Childhood Programs promote good health habits at meal time (such as hand washing and tooth brushing). Meals are served in family style with classroom coordinator and all other adults seated at the tables and eating the same foods with the children. Children are not forced to eat, but encouraged to try all foods.

A growth assessment is conducted three times a year; November, February and May.
Without proper nutrition, the body cannot grow and the potential for learning is decreased.
