Meals And Menus

Kids' Kingdom Family Childcare places proper nutrition high on the list of priorities for your child's health and growth. Children over the age of 1 will be provided with the following nutritional meals; Breakfast, Lunch and Afternoon Snack, and/or Dinner & Evening Snack (if they are here for after hour care).

Each child will be encouraged to try new foods and will enjoy the variety provided to them in each week’s menu. They will be given the opportunity to participate in food preparation during the different meal times and nutritional activities. Every meal is made to meet or exceed the Federal guidelines for the Massachusetts Child Care Food Programs. The meal schedule followed is listed below. If the child(ren) is here during those times, they will be served.

If your child will be arriving after mealtime, please make sure he or she is fed. Breakfast 8:00am Morning snack 10:00am Lunch 12:00pm Afternoon Snack 3:15pm Dinner 6:30pm PM Snack 7:45pm

We do not serve soda, candy, or junk foods, however we may bake treats occasionally. Children are never force fed, but rather, are always encouraged to try at least one or two bites. Water is always offered and given throughout the day. Meals are served family style, which means that the children are included in parts of the preparation, table setting, serving themselves and clearing. Weekly Menus will always be provided and posted on the "Parent Message
