Proper nutrition has always been an important part of the Catherine Morrill Day
Nursery philosophy, contributing to healthy growth and development.
The Nursery serves two nutritious meals a day (breakfast and lunch) and one
healthy snack including milk, fruit juice, vegetable, fruit and muffins or crackers.
The meals conform to the guidelines set forth by the USDA Child and Adult Care
Food Program.
All food served at the Nursery is cooked on the premises each day. We select foods
in the same manner that parents do: with careful consideration toward providing nutritious
meals which are low in fat, salt and sugar and emphasizing the importance of
fresh vegetables and fruit. Individual arrangements are made for children with special dietary
needs. All meals are served family style with an adult at each
table assisting children as they are encouraged to serve themselves.
