Nutrition & Meals

A nut-free school. Fresh meals and snacks, catered and prepared fresh for growing children every day.

Fresh meals, every day

Meals for the children are catered by Lessing's Catering Company and prepared fresh each day.

Each meal and snack is carefully designed to meet all of the nutritional needs of all children.

A new menu every week

Our director writes a new menu every week, around what OCFS requires of a children's menu and the suggestions parents send in. Enrolled families get each week's menu in the Brightwheel app.
