Menus will be posted outside the office door and on each classroom bulletin board. All food is prepared in the Open Arms CDC kitchen.

Infants: Parents of children ages six weeks to one year old will need to inform the staff when their child is ready to begin eating solid table food provided by the lunch program. We will offer 100% juice, whole milk, and 2% milk at Open Arms CDC. All bottles/food supplied by the parent will need to be labeled with the child’s name and date. All other foods will be provided. Formula and baby food is provided by the center.

Children will be offered morning breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack everyday. Meals and snacks offered at Open Arms CDC will meet the U.S. Department of Agriculture Child Care meal requirements. Food will be served at flexible intervals, but no child will go longer than three hours without eating. Enough food shall be prepared for each meal so that second portions of fruit, vegetables, and milk are available to children.
