Plant Based Nutrition
Food- learning to grow it, make it, and love it- is a part of a well rounded early childhood education.
We believe in seasonal, local, plant based nutrition. From the very beginning, when our littles help plant our seeds and seedlings in our raised beds, they experience food in a natural and organic way. They learn what foods grow when in New Orleans and why we should eat food grown nearby and in season. Our littles help prepare, in a safe and closely monitored way, lunch and snack every day. The food we prepare is all plant based- we don't serve any meat, dairy, or eggs. We are also a peanut free facility. We do use tree nuts in the preparation of our homemade hummus. We do not heat, prepare, or serve any of our food on plastic. We exclusively use bamboo, glass, and stainless steel.
