Childcare Nutrition

We believe nutrition plays a big part in a child’s development and learning ability. We shop weekly for our groceries and prepare nutritious, hot, home made meals daily.  All meals are included in the cost of tuition and meet age appropriate food component requirements required 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 nutrition specialist assigned by the Texas Department of Human Services (TDHS). It is the duty of the nutrition specialist to ensure the children enrolled at A Kid’s World are receiving proper serving amounts from all four-food groups and to provide training to staff members on proper child nutrition.       

In return for complying with the strict nutritional requirements set forth by TDHS, A Kid’s World receives monetary compensation from TDHS to help with the high cost of good nutrition. Not only does this compensation enable us to serve the healthiest meals, but it allows us to keep the cost of tuition down. 

We have been a part of this program, and our parents have been enjoying the benefits since 1997.
