Healthy Snacks

At Head Start, your child will receive approximately 2/3 of his/her daily nutritional needs. Each child is served breakfast, lunch, and a healthy snack. Menus are posted monthly in each classroom and sent home. The Nutrition Component is also responsible for providing nutrition and consumer education workshops for parents during the year. These take place during parent meetings. If your child is on a special diet, you must have your doctor write a special order stating what your child can and cannot eat. This information should be given to the teacher, nutrition manager, and health manager at the beginning of the school year, or when applicable.
