Food and Nutrition at Children’s Village Bloomington

Good nutrition isn’t just a nice idea: It’s critical to the well-being of our kids. Children’s Village Bloomington follows Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) guidelines to make sure our meals are well-balanced and nutritious. Fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and various milk options are included in our meals, which are served up family style. We provide kids with breakfast, lunch, and regular snacks, and always encourage them to drink plenty of water.

Special Diets

Many of the children we care for require special diets, whether due to parental preference, religious requirements, or medical needs. We work to accommodate these requests in keeping with the guidelines provided by the CACFP. For medical need requests, including allergies, we do require a physician’s statement detailing what to avoid and proper substitutions, as required by state regulations.

If you have any questions about our special diet requirements, or about our food practices in general, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
