Nutrition

We recognize that good nutrition is a critical component of every child's health and development. At Hill and Dale, children are provided with a morning snack, milk at lunchtime, an afternoon snack and an evening snack to ensure that all children receive a steady supply of nourishment throughout the day, at no extra cost.

Hill and Dale provides healthy snacks. All staff are required to participate in child health and nutrition classes annually. We follow the USDA federal guidelines for snacks which can be found here. If your child is unable to eat certain foods due to a food allergen (specified in the Child's Record form) you can provide alternatives for them or we may be able to, please discuss this with the director prior to their first day of attendance.

When packing your child's lunch, we ask that you please refer to the Parent Handbook for our guidelines concerning healthy lunches from home.
