Breakfast
Good nutrition is based on what kids learn early in their childhood. This Kids Health research shows how healthy eating habits lead to a child’s ability to pay attention, respond quickly and intelligently, and develop friendships among peers. Kids who eat breakfast regularly are more concentrated, can easily solve problems, and are less likely to experience irritability in the morning.
Breakfast plays a leading role in the child nutrition program of Early Explorers Learning Center. Breakfast is available at no extra charge, and you also have the opportunity to enjoy breakfast with your kids!
Snacks and Lunch
The full child nutrition program at Early Explorers Learning Center also includes snacks in both morning and afternoon. All of our meals and snacks are nutritionally balanced, contain all the necessary dietary components, and adhere to the prescribed portion sizes. We always boost kids to try all the food group that is offered by our program. Your child can even have his favorite foods for a second serving.
