Children grow and develop so quickly, making good nutrition is especially important. A healthy diet provides the energy and essential nutrient that children need for their growth. Our menu considers children’s ages, food regulation, nutritional needs, cultural and religious practices and health needs (allergies).
Note: Good Start Daycare is a free-of-nut center.
For safety reasons, we ask parents not to provide any kinds of foods with nuts and gums for children.
There will be a monthly menu posted in the kitchen and on parent boards. The cook will be a trained professional who will be knowledgeable about the safe handling and preparation of the childcare menus. The cook is responsible for providing nutritional snacks and meals that meet all standards set out by the Canada Food Guide and families.
We also ask children preferences while serving meals or snack on different occasion. These guidelines can be found at
