Where Mealtime Equals Love/Health and Learning.
You want your child to eat well—be happy, healthy, and active. We couldn’t agree more. That’s why we provide nutritious meals and snacks to meet the needs of rapidly growing bodies and minds. We don’t serve juice (with too much sugar), fried foods, high sugary snacks, or any snack with food coloring!
Instead, our meals and snacks include versions of kid favorites made with healthier ingredients, like whole grains, proteins to keep bellies full, plenty of fruits and vegetables—and hormone-free milk. At our daycare kids will eat ORGANIC milk, ORGANIC Juices (low sugar), ORGANIC Snacks, ORGANIC apples, carrots.
We make “WATER” more visible and accessible for self-serve inside and outside classroom environments.
At Happy Stars Academy, nutrition is about more than the food on the plate. It’s an important part of our educational model. Even our two-year-olds set the table with their friends, practicing “please” and “thank you.”
Bottom line: At Happy Stars Academy, the learning doesn’t end at lunchtime, and our approach to nutrition is as thoughtful as our approach to reading, the arts, or anything else we teach. We’re proud of that! After all, it takes a community of caring adults to raise a healthy eater!
