Menu
We offer a full home-cooked weekly menu, serving breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack daily. Some of our favorite menu items offered include pot roast, chili, soft pork tacos and salmon patties with Quinoa. We also offer all the typical favorites such as pizza, macaroni & cheese and chicken nuggets however, all of these things are home-made here in our kitchen. This enables us to chop up and add extra veggies into our favorite foods such as our pizza and turkey burgers. As a rule, we do not serve store bought items such as fish sticks, chicken nuggets or other fast food type choices.
Fresh produce is offered at every meal and always provided based on seasonal choices that vary as often as possible. We also serve whole grain/wheat products, and replace things like 'ranch style dip' with hummus, almond butter or home-made walnut butter.
We feel that serving a healthy well-balanced diet to each child can have a huge impact on their current and future health, and their success as they move on towards formal schooling.

Curriculum
The curriculum we offer is based on the needs of young children to explore the world around them. We truly feel that much more can be gained when a preschooler engages in hands-on activities versus spending much of the day in a typical structured environment sitting behind a desk. We believe a child should use all their senses to learn to engage and maneuver in the world. We work on building their critical thinking and socialization skills to be ready for formal schooling.
We offer a multi-faceted, formal preschool curriculum, incorporating math, science, music, reading and arts daily. Although our theme is preplanned, we do let our daily activities evolve based on the children's interests. We always have some music time and each child has a personal journal and enjoys "journaling" daily.
We do not send weekly packet homework home with the children. Their job as toddlers and preschoolers is to learn how to assimilate into the world around them. Time for formal homework will be here soon enough, and if each child is here regularly, they will be ready for school when that time arrives.
