Below you will find our breakfast, lunch, and snack menu. At The Little Caboose we have made a commitment to our
children's overall health. We are not only concentrating on their mental growth and development, be we want to ensure that
we are caring for the "whole child". We want to make sure that the children are physically developing the healthiest way
possible.
Our role as educators extends beyond the classroom. It is our goal to set the wheels in motion for an overall healthy and
productive lifestyle. As you will notice, our menu has been developed with the sound purpose of combating the growing
epidemic of child obesity. We use only the finest ingredients, including whole wheat breads, pastas, and rices. We use
fresh fruits and vegetables when available. We serve fresh fish at least once a month. We will avoid fried foods, notice no
nuggets, french fries, chips, etc. Our products are prepared on-site, we do not cater, and thus we can control the fat,
preservatives, and sugars in our foods.
Other ways that we are assisting our parents in raising healthy children is we brush the children's teeth after each
meal/snack. We also have the a weekly Tumblebus Gym class come to the Center. Also, in an effort to combat child
obesity, our children are alloted a minimum of 1 hour of physical free play activity each day.
Please review our menu, and if you have any recommendations or recipes, please feel free to share.
