Lunch and Snack

Weekly Menu

Reggio Home Daycare focuses on health and nutrition and provides the children with nutritious, home-cooked meals. A breakfast (morning snack), hot cooked lunch, and one snack are prepared and served to the children on a daily basis. For children who stay until 4 PM, one snack is provided, and for children who stay until 6 PM, two snacks are provided. We only provide the most nutritious and delicious healthy products and meal ideas for the children to enjoy, and our four-week menu is created with the Canadian Food Guide in mind.

“Please do not allow your child to bring any food or snacks to the center as some children may have allergies.”

We are a peanut free and pork free environment. Due to peanuts being a highly allergenic food, we have learned that even small traces of peanuts can be deadly to those who are allergic.

Please advise us upon registration of any food restrictions/allergies your child may have, so that we can try to provide a menu to fit your child’s food intake.
