One of the things families tell us they appreciate most is knowing exactly what their child ate today. We prepare all our meals fresh in our kitchen — no packaged lunches, no drive-through shortcuts. Everything is home-cooked, nut-free, and made with growing bodies in mind.

A Few Things to Know
- Nut-free kitchen. We never bring nuts into the space. When we want to offer a nut-butter flavor, we use Wow Butter (made from sunflower seeds).
- Milk with morning meals; water throughout the day. We don't serve juice.
- Family-style serving. Children serve themselves from shared dishes using tongs and spoons — building independence and fine motor skills at the same time.
- Allergies and dietary needs. Please let us know at enrollment. We work with each family to accommodate individual needs.
We believe that learning to eat together — trying new foods, serving yourself, passing dishes to a friend — is just as important as anything else that happens in a school day.
