At St. Anne’s Children and Family Center, we are deeply committed to promoting nutrition and healthy eating practices that support children’s overall health, development, and lifelong well-being. We believe that mealtimes are an important part of learning and growth, where children can explore new foods, practice independence, and develop positive attitudes toward healthy eating.

​

We offer a variety of balanced, nourishing meals and snacks, thoughtfully planned to meet the nutritional needs of growing children. All foods are prepared with high-quality ingredients and reflect our commitment to freshness, variety, and balance. Whenever possible, we feature fresh, seasonal foods and locally sourced produce to ensure optimal flavor and nutrition while helping children understand where their food comes from and the importance of sustainable choices.

Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP)

​

St. Anne’s proudly participates in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), a federally funded program that ensures children in care settings receive nutritious meals and snacks that meet strict national standards. Through CACFP, we are able to provide well-balanced menus that encourage healthy growth and establish positive eating habits from an early age. Our participation reflects our ongoing dedication to meeting, and often exceeding, best practices in child nutrition.
