Balanced Nutrition for Effective Learning
Our child nutrition program includes breakfast, lunch and snacks. Every breakfast, lunch and snack is nutritionally balanced and meets requirements regarding food components and portion size.
We know that good nutrition contributes to effective learning in children. Numerous studies have demonstrated that eating breakfast regularly will boost your child’s ability to learn, to think quickly, to pay attention and even to get along with others.
Sharper Minds, Better Attention
One recent study on childhood nutrition found that those who eat breakfast raise their math grades and improve their school attendance records. Children who regularly have breakfast in the morning solve problems more easily and are less likely to be restless or irritable before lunch.
Other studies indicate that skipping breakfast has a negative effect on attentiveness, verbal fluency, memory and the brain’s ability to make use of new information.
Candy-Free
To support healthy habits, we are a candy-free school and encourage healthy snacks and celebrate special occasions in fun, non-candy ways.
