Meals/Menu Policy
Children 12 months of age and over will be served 2 snacks and a lunch meal prepared by the licensed dietician of Breckenridge Village dining services, at no additional cost to you. There is a menu posted at each site on the parent bulletin board. The children will be offered food and beverage at the following times:
- AM snack: 8:30 a.m. (Infant/Toddler and Preschool/Pre-K)
- Lunch: 11:30 a.m. (Infant/Toddler and Preschool/Pre-K)
- PM snack: 3:15 p.m. (Infant/Toddler and Preschool/Pre-K)
Any allergies or special dietary needs must be indicated on the registration paperwork and discussed with the director prior to admission.
If your child has a food allergy that requires the substitution of a food group, it is your responsibility to provide the substituted item (example: soy milk substituted for dairy milk due to dairy allergy). A menu will be sent home weekly with you so you may indicate which foods your child may or may not have. These menus must be returned with a signature and adequate substitutes as needed. The menu will be posted in the kitchen area for all staff members to refer to.
Children with food allergies are served with special color plates and cups to ensure safety.
Staff eats with the children, modeling a family style mealtime. Children are encouraged to try and taste, but the choice to be finished is ultimately the child's.
Parents/guardians must provide all formula and food for infants. All bottles and food must be labeled with the child's name and date.
Infant food/formula will be stored in the center refrigerator for up to 24 hours, and then will be discarded.
Children 12 months and under will be served formula or breast milk only. Children 12-24 months will be served whole milk only. Children 24 months and above will be served 2% milk only.
Parents are responsible for preparing and filling infant bottles each day. NO GLASS BOTTLES, PLEASE! Staff is not permitted to put fluid into a bottle.
Breast milk and formula will be heated once, and then discarded.
All other food and beverage will be served once to the children, and then discarded. NO food/drink is ever saved and re-served,
We serve only 100% apple, grape, and orange juice for snacks.
