Nutrition
With the help of the individual parents/guardians, we will attempt to personalize meal options so that they include foods each child enjoys. This will also help in having a higher success rate with meal consumption. Throughout the month, the children will take turns being "Chef of the Week," helping prepare the different meals/snacks of the day.
At DGLBCC, we strive to use only the freshest, top-quality, organic ingredients and whole foods when preparing any and all of our snacks and meals.
At DGLBCC, we understand that allergies are quite common. We ask that parents/guardians disclose any and all allergies, as well as if the child has yet to be tested for certain allergens. Please see the Allergies section of the Google Form to disclose that information.
