Child Nutrition

Your child’s nutrition is important to their overall health. Proper nutrition can also prevent many medical problems, including becoming overweight, under-development of brain and bones, and developing diabetes. It will also ensure that your child physically grows to their full potential. Our goal is to promote your child’s overall health by providing them with:
• A variety of foods
• A balance of the food they eat with physical activity
• A diet with plenty of grain products, vegetables and fruits
• A diet low in fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol
• A diet moderate in sugars and salt
• A diet that provides enough calcium and iron to meet their growing body’s requirement
