FOOD PREPARATION
All food served to the children will be prepared in our facility, or has been purchased from a store. All prepared food brought into our facility (i.e. cookies, cupcakes) must be purchased from a store and dispensed from its original container.
Those employees preparing and serving food are trained and qualified in the safe and sanitary administration of food preparation and have their food handlers card.
All dishes and implements are washed and sanitized after each use.
Children are taught and encouraged against sharing dishes or eating utensils.
Foods brought from home must be in a sealed container labeled with your child's first and last name, and the current date.

than ten (10) hours will be offered an additional snack.
