Meals & Nutrition

At Angel Home Family Child Care, we know that what children eat directly impacts how they learn, grow, and feel throughout the day. That’s why we provide healthy, balanced meals and snacks that meet the nutritional needs of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Every menu is thoughtfully designed to give your child the energy and nutrients they need to thrive while introducing them to a variety of delicious foods.

We belive healthy eating habits start early. Our menus feature:

• Fresh Fruits and Vegetables every day
• Whole grains for lasting energy
• Proteins to support growth
• Dairy or dairy alternatives for strong bones and teeth
• Minimal added sugar to encourage natural tast

We aim to create a positive, enjoyable mealtime experience, where children learn to explore new flavors and textures in a relaxed and encouraging environment.

Nutritional Standards

We follow the USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) guidelines to ensure every meal meets proper portion sizes and nutrient requirements for growing children. Our meals are prepared in a licensed facility and served in safe, age-appropriate portions.

Allergy & Special Diet Accomodations

We take allergies and dietary restrictions seriously. Our kitchen is nut-free, and all staff are trained in allergy awareness and cross-contamination prevention. If your child has specific dietary needs, we will work with you to provide safe, suitable alternatives. We also offer vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options upon request.

Food Safety Procedures

Your child’s safety is as important at the table as it is in the classroom. All meals are prepared and stored according to state food safety guidelines. We maintain strict hygiene in food preparation areas, refrigerate perishable items promptly, and sanitize all surfaces and utensils daily.
