Health and Wellness

We assess children’s health based on parental input and by monitoring any child’s symptoms. When a child does not feel well, we immediately notify parents.

As part of personal care, children and staff wash their hands throughout the day.
Nutritious Meals
-
We offer breakfast, lunch, and a snack.
-
We are very concerned about health and wellness, which is why our meals are nutritious. They follow the MyPlate guidelines, which replaced the older food pyramid guidelines. Our meals comply with the guidelines provided by Colorado’s Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). CACFP guidelines were recently revised to anticipate the new dietary guidelines due from the federal government that will update the current guidelines that were adopted in 2010. All perishable food is refrigerated.

Our healthy meals and snacks are a wonderful for children to interact with each other and staff. Parents are always welcome to attend lunch to connect during the day with their child.
