Breakfast Menu  |  Lunch Menu  |  Nutrition Information

Breakfast is served only between 8:30 and 9:00 a.m.; children arriving later should already have eaten at home.

The major meal of the day is served at lunch; dinner is lighter fare. Meals are catered for us by the hospital kitchen and the menu rotates on a four-week basis. Nutritious snacks are provided twice a day. Milk is served at lunch to all children and made available, as needed, to infants in the bottles parents provide. However, parents must provide their own formula (or expressed milk for nursing infants if parents so choose) for those not yet ready for container milk.

Parents must inform the center of any special dietary requirements, including food allergies.

As per the Health Department we are prohibited from allowing outside food to be brought into the center.
