the day. We use whole grain/wheat products. We try to reduce sodium level by making our soups & omitting processed foods.
(We do not serve processed foods, chocolate milk or liquid candy.) We do provide lactose free milk if required. On special
occasions a treat is offered to children some of the time and not considered part of their regular menu plan. All foods for
infants and babies are modified/pureed for their appropriate development needs and will be discussed with parents/guardians
to ensure daily dietary needs are met. WE support breast feeding and will work with mother with scheduling, breast milk
