Meals and Snacks

Meals and snacks provided and are based on the guidelines of the Canada Food Guide. Morning snack begins at 9:30am, lunch is served at noon, and afternoon snack at 2:45pm. The children are encouraged to eat what is being served as we do not allow food to be brought into the centre unless it is due to specific dietary needs. A weekly menu is posted in the locker area.

Due to the allergies of children in our care we are asking all families do not bring any food into Headstart as we do have children who have life-threatening allergies to some specific foods. If you any questions, please do not hesitate to ask Carol or Angela.
