Nutrition & Healthy Eating

At Mother Daughter Daycare, we believe healthy eating plays an important role in a child's growth, development, and ability to learn. We strive to provide nutritious meals and snacks that support healthy habits and introduce children to a variety of foods.

Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP)

Our center participates in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), a federally funded program that helps ensure children receive nutritious meals and snacks while in care.

Through CACFP, meals are planned to meet USDA nutrition guidelines and support healthy development.

🌽 Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)

We proudly participate in a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) partnership with Panek's Pickin' Patch.

This partnership allows us to incorporate fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables into our menus whenever possible. By connecting children with fresh seasonal produce, we help encourage healthy eating habits while supporting local agriculture.

Children may have opportunities to:

• Explore new fruits and vegetables

• Learn about where food comes from

• Participate in nutrition-related activities

• Experience seasonal foods grown in our local community
