About Us
We are committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment for every child in our care — backed by the training, certifications, and programs that give families confidence and peace of mind.
Nutrition
Healthy food is fundamental to having happy, healthy children. To ensure the highest standard of nutrition for your child, we have chosen to participate in the USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). Our menus are designed to meet the nutritional guidelines of this program and are verified by the City of Seattle Human Services Department, which sponsors the program in the greater Seattle area.
Fresh, Home-Cooked Meals: We prepare healthy, wholesome meals right here every day.
Daily Milk & Eggs: We provide milk and eggs every single day to support healthy growth.
A Different Meat Each Day: We rotate our proteins throughout the week to keep meals exciting, featuring lean meat, fish, and shrimp.
Fresh Fruits & Veggies: Meals are packed with lots of fresh vegetables and seasonal fruits.
Good Snacks: We provide wholesome, nutrient-dense snacks between meals to keep kids energized.
Reduced Sugar & Salt: All meals are prepared with lower sodium and limited added sugars to instill healthy habits.
