Menus

As part of the Federal nutrition program, Sandcastle meets the child's nutritional needs for the part of the day which the child spends in the center by providing breakfast (8:30), lunch (11:30), and an afternoon snack (3:00). Menus are posted in each building by the sign-in table.

Infants - Sandcastle will supply Nestle Good Start® formula. Parents choosing to provide a different type of formula will supply daily formula in capped bottles labeled with the child's first and last name. Infants will be fed on individual schedules. The program provides baby food, including fortified cereals, fruits, and vegetables containing no sugar, salt or preservatives, whole milk, and juices. Semisolid and solid foods are provided by the program and will be introduced to infants after consultation with the parents.

Infants (over the age of 12 months) and Toddlers are given Vitamin D whole milk. Preschool children are given 2% milk.
