CYS provides wholesome, healthy foods for your children. All meals meet USDA guidelines. There are no separate charges for meals. All enrolled children present during meal time will be offered food. We request parents to not send food in with their child. For your planning purposes, weekly menus are available in each of our facilities.

Children eat family style and are encouraged to serve themselves as they are able. Pleasant conversation and good manners are integral parts of the meal time experiences. Meal schedules are posted at your child care location. If arriving more than 15 minutes after the start of a meal, please see that your child has been fed.

Should your child be unable to eat the foods we are serving, provide us with a doctor's statement indicating suitable alternative foods. We may be able to accommodate these special food needs, but we may also have to ask for your help in providing some or all of the foods.

INFANT FOOD/FORMULAS: Parents provide infant formula and juice in plastic bottles, ready to serve. Label all bottles with the child's full name and the date. Please do not add any medication or cereals to the formula. We do not serve bottles which look as if they might contain something other the fresh formula or juice. Baby food must arrive in unopened jars. Unused portions will be returned to the parent each day.
