Food Program
At PRLC Preschool we provide a lunch and three snacks which are prepared in our on-site kitchen each day. Our school is nut-free and we work with families to develop modifications to accommodate other dietary needs due to allergies, medical conditions, or cultural practices. We have a strong value for helping children build healthy relationships with food and this is reflected in practices throughout our food program: we serve snacks and meals on a predictable schedule each day, we provide a variety of foods which represent both familiar favorites and new experiences, and we trust children to make decisions about whether they are hungry or satiated. For more information on the feeding philosophy we use, follow the links titled “Our Food Program Philosophy” and “Ellyn Satter: Division of Responsibility” to the right!
