Nutrition education and the promotion of healthy attitudes towards
food are an important part of the care we provide for the children.
A hot nutritious noon meal and two snacks (early morning and
mid-afternoon) are provided daily for all children. As required by
Health Canada and 2% M.F. milk as needed to toddler and preschool
children at morning snack and lunch. Water will be served with the
afternoon snack. Parents provide a water bottle, labeled with your
child’s name, allowing ongoing access to water. Fresh fruit will
also be available to the children at all times.
JHCCLC provides meals that follow the guidelines of the Canada Food
Guide. Weekly menus are posted on the Family Information Board and
any alternatives are noted. Peanuts and peanut products are not used
in any food preparation at this Centre.
At least one staff member of JHCCLC will have successfully completed
the examination based on York Region Public Health Ontario Ministry
of Food Handler Training Protocol.
The supervisor must be alerted to any food allergies, sensitives or
restrictions upon enrolment. Substitutions, to the best of our
ability, will be made to accommodate your child’s needs. In the
event your child has a life-threatening allergy then the policy
addressing anaphylactic protocol must be followed.
