Meals & Snacks

At my day home, I provide lunch and two snacks each day to ensure that your child has plenty of energy for their activities. All meals and snacks are included in the monthly fee.
However, please note that I am unable to provide a peanut and gluten-free environment. While I strive to accommodate common food allergies, if your child has specific dietary needs, parents will be asked to supply the necessary food items, and I will make sure they are properly stored and served.

Morning Snack
​Served around 8:30 am

We have fruit with a grain product & yogurt, cheese or milk. The children love muffins, banana bread, crackers, etc. This meal time often looks like breakfast.

Lunch
​Served around 11:30 am

Our lunches consist of 4+ food groups & our absolute favourite lunch is some variation of breakfast. 

Afternoon Snack
Served around 3:15 pm

Afternoon is similar to morning snack with fruit, a grain & yogurt, cheese or milk. Sometimes I make the children fruit & vegetable smoothies too.

We enjoy a variety of fruits &/or vegetables with each meal served. 

Some of our favourite fruits are apples, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, watermelon, bananas, oranges, grapes, pineapple and pears. We use a mix of frozen & fresh fruit for our smoothies. 

Some of our favourite vegetables are cucumber, corn, peas, snap peas, celery, bell peppers and mixed vegetables. I offer tomato and avocado fairly often but we are still working to love those.  I also add avocado to our smoothies as well. 

Our 3 week rotating menu.

This is our updated menu, effective June 2024. Menus are regularly reviewed and updated to reflect the changing interests and preferences of the children in my care. I strive to offer a variety of nutritious and kid-friendly meals that support healthy growth and development.
