Robins Nest Family Daycare participates in the USDA Childcare Food Program.  As a participant all meals served follow meal planning guidelines, I allow announced and unannounced visits from food program specialists, and also keep up to date on children's nutrition.I emphasize fresh and homemade foods whenever I can.  I encourage the children to taste the wide varieties of foods served, but they are ultimately in control of what they eat and how much.
Breakfast includes a a grain/bread, fruit or juice, and milk.  All snacks consist of at least 2 of the 4 food groups.  All lunches include meat/meat alternative, grain/bread, fruit, vegetable, and milk.
