Faith Filled Child Care

FFCC Food Program

Nourishing Bodies,

Growing Minds

We believe that nurturing a child's body is just as important as nurturing their spirit and mind. That's why we are committed to providing a food program that is not only delicious and appealing to young palates but also carefully designed to meet their nutritional needs.

A Taste of Our Daily Offerings

Our daily food program is designed to provide a balanced and varied intake of essential food groups throughout the day.

Breakfast: To start the day off right, we offer a nutritious breakfast that includes a serving of fruit and a healthy grain. This combination provides sustained energy to help children focus and learn. Examples of our breakfast offerings might include sliced bananas with whole-wheat toast, apple slices with oatmeal, or a mixed berry cup with whole-grain crackers.

Lunch: Our midday meal is a cornerstone of our nutrition program, providing a well-rounded combination of essential food groups. Each lunch includes a source of lean protein to support muscle development, a serving of grain for energy, a colorful vegetable packed with vitamins, a refreshing fruit for natural sweetness and nutrients, and a serving of milk for calcium and vitamin D. You might find us serving chicken with brown rice, steamed broccoli, and sliced peaches, or perhaps turkey meatballs with whole-wheat pasta, green beans, and mandarin oranges.

Afternoon Snack: To bridge the gap between lunch and dinner, we provide a healthy and satisfying afternoon snack. This snack is always served with water to encourage hydration. Our snacks are designed to offer a little boost of energy and can include options like yogurt with berries, whole-wheat crackers with cheese, or sliced cucumbers with hummus.

Exploring New Flavors and Textures

We believe that introducing children to a variety of foods early on can help foster healthy eating habits for life. Our menu is thoughtfully planned to offer a wide range of familiar favorites alongside new and exciting options. We regularly rotate new food choices into our meals and snacks, providing opportunities for children to explore different flavors and textures.

Our teachers and staff encourage children to try new things in a positive and supportive environment, helping them to develop more adventurous palates.

We are always mindful of common allergies and dietary restrictions and take the necessary precautions to ensure the safety and well-being of all children in our care. If your child has any specific dietary needs, please don't hesitate to discuss them with our center director.

We understand the vital role that proper nutrition plays in supporting healthy growth, development, and the energy needed for a busy day of learning and play. You can rest assured that every meal and snack served at our center is thoughtfully prepared with your child's well-being in mind.
