What does my child eat at daycare?
Meals cooked every morning, Canada's Food Guide, allergies, a four-week menu: how meals work at Le Pinceau daycares.
In short
At Le Pinceau, meals and snacks are cooked every morning in our central kitchen, following Canada's Food Guide, with each child's allergies taken into account and a menu that changes over four weeks.
Meals are a big part of a toddler's day, and a question parents often ask. Here's how it works at Le Pinceau.
Who cooks the meals, and when?
Our cooks prepare the meals every morning in our central kitchen, then they are delivered to our thirteen daycares. No dishes made ahead for the week.
Are the meals balanced?
Menus follow Canada's Food Guide: vegetables and fruit, whole-grain foods and protein foods, with water as the drink of choice.
How are allergies handled?
Meals take each child's allergies and restrictions into account. Tell us when you register: the kitchen and the daycare team are informed.
Does the menu change?
The menu runs on a four-week cycle, so children discover a wide variety of foods, textures and flavours.
