Nourishing Young Minds with Healthy Meals
At Sunflowers Academy & Preschools, we know the importance of providing our students with nutritious meals and snacks to support their physical growth, cognitive development, and overall well-being. We're proud to participate in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), a federal program that ensures children have access to wholesome meals and snacks while in our care.
About the Program
CACFP is a federal initiative that offers financial reimbursements to participating child care centers, day care homes, and adult day care centers for providing nutritious meals and snacks to eligible children and adults. In addition to supporting child care facilities, CACFP also aids after school care programs, emergency shelters for children, and daycare facilities for adults over the age of 60 or those living with disabilities.
Our Commitment
As part of our commitment to fostering a healthy and nurturing environment for our students, Sunflowers Academy & Preschools adheres to the nutritional guidelines set forth by CACFP. Our dedicated staff prepares balanced meals and snacks that not only meet but exceed these standards, ensuring that our students receive the essential nutrients they need to thrive academically and physically.
We believe that by providing our students with access to wholesome and delicious meals, we're contributing to their overall wellness, healthy growth, and development, setting them on a path to lifelong health and success.
Balanced & Approved Menus
Our meal and snack menus are carefully planned to ensure that they meet the dietary needs of growing children. All of our menus are approved by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), ensuring that the meals and snacks we serve are not only delicious but also meet the highest standards of nutrition.
We are proud to offer daily nutritious snacks during after-school hours and breakfast for students enrolled in before-care. Our menus include a variety of options that are both healthy and appealing to children, helping them to develop positive eating habits that can last a lifetime.
