I provide a menu in line with Canada Food Guide Regulations and children will always have at least two food groups to choose from at each sitting. I often provide hot lunches and the majority of our meals are homemade. I encourage children to experience new tastes and textures. If a child doesn't like what is served I will gently encourage them to taste it. I will never force a child to eat something they don't like and a child will never be forced to go hungry. I have milk and water available at each sitting and I do not serve juice. My dayhome does not have "junk" food such as candy, chocolate, chips, and soda available to the children. In the case of a special celebration such as a birthday we may have a little treat.
