Child Care Nutrition

We believe nutrition plays a big part in your child’s development and learning ability. We shop weekly for our groceries and prepare nutritious, hot, homemade meals daily.  We serve breakfast, lunch and two snacks. All meals are included in the cost of tuition and meet food component requirements set by the US Department of Agriculture. 

We do not serve combination foods, such as corn dogs, or foods with a lot of additives and preservatives, such as canned spaghetti.  Every meal served contains foods that are fresh and whole.

A Kid’s World is a member of the Child Nutrition Program mandated by the US Department of Agriculture. This is a voluntary program that very few child care centers participate in.  To be a part of this program, each participating center must agree to periodic inspections from a Texas Department of Human Services (TDHS) Nutrition Specialist. The TDHS Nutrition Specialist ensures the children enrolled at A Kid’s World are receiving proper food servings from all four-food groups. In addition, A Kid’s World must comply with child nutrition training requirements set forth by TDHS. In return for complying with the strict requirements set forth by TDHS, A Kid’s World receives monetary compensation from TDHS to help off-set the high cost of proper nutrition.

Compensation from TDHS not only allows us to serve healthy meals, the compensation also allows us to keep the cost of tuition down. 

Our families have been enjoying the benefits of this program since 1997.
