NUTRITION
At Eco Kids, we understand the importance of quality nutrition. We vow to serve only natural foods, and vow to provide local and organic foods when available. Our foods will never contain any artificial preservatives or high-fructose corn syrup. Our milk and eggs are supplied from local farms. Fruits and vegetables are also from local farms when available and much of our produce is ordered and delivered from Capital Roots.
To encourage healthy eating choices, portion control, appropriate table conversations and manners, staff will sit with the children during mealtimes. We believe that healthy eating habits begin at a young age, and children are strongly influenced by the adults and peers around them! Staff will model appropriate behaviors and encourage the children to try new foods by tasting the foods themselves and discussing how delicious they are!
We encourage families to participate in our "farm to table" philosophy by offering weekly deliveries via Field Goods.
Filtered water is always available to all children of an appropriate developmental age when they are thirsty. Juice will not be served to any child while in our care, unless a doctor’s note is provided.
Our entire menu is vegetarian. There is much research which supports that a whole foods diet, that is free of meats may increase environmental stability over time.
