Meal time is an opportunity for social interaction, sensory exploration and healthy-habit formation.
Children will participate in family-style dining for breakfast and lunch, along with two healthy snacks every day. Children will also engage in cooking as part of their overall curriculum and enrichment activities. Fresh vegetables and herbs grown by the children in the community garden will complement the meal experience. Meals and snacks are made from scratch with organic, free range and non GMO ingredients, as often as possible. The Tree House is a nut safe environment.
