What we eat this week

Breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack, cooked in this kitchen and eaten at the table together.

How the food is chosen

I provide only nutritious foods in accordance with recommendations of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. If your child has…
Colores de Esperanza, in the provider's own words

The first sentence is complete and can go live as written once she confirms it still holds. The second one breaks at “If your child has…” and was almost certainly about allergies — the allergy section further down this page is written from scratch and should be replaced by her actual wording. Cooking to USDA guidance usually means the home is on the CACFP food programme; if it is, say so by name, because parents comparing homes look for it.

Sample week. The menu is posted in the kitchen every Monday.
Day	Breakfast	Lunch	Snack
Monday	Oatmeal with banana, milk	Chicken and rice, steamed carrots, orange slices	Yoghurt and blueberries
Tuesday	Scrambled egg, whole wheat toast, milk	Bean and cheese burrito, cucumber, apple	Cheese cubes and crackers
Wednesday	Cereal with milk, sliced pear	Turkey picadillo, brown rice, green beans	Apple slices with sunflower butter
Thursday	Whole wheat pancakes, strawberries, milk	Lentil soup, corn tortilla, avocado	Melon and graham crackers
Friday	Yoghurt with granola, milk	Baked fish sticks, mashed potato, peas	Banana bread and milk

Sample menu, written to look right, not to be served. Replace every meal with the real one, and say whether the home takes part in the CACFP food programme.

Allergies and special diets

Tell us about every allergy, intolerance or family food rule before your child's first day, and put it in writing on the enrollment form. Food is never shared between children.

Go to the enrollment forms

Confirm how allergies are handled here, whether parents may send food from home, and whether infant formula or breast milk is stored.
