Nutrition at SCA

There will always be fresh water available throughout the day any time a child wants water. During mealtimes will serve water infused with different kinds of fruit as well as organic milk. 

We do look for products on the market that do not have any inflammatory oils such as vegetable oils, soybean, sunflower, or canola oil.  These kinds of oils wreak havoc on your gut health and we at SCA only cook with olive, coconut or avocado oil. We also use organic or grass fed butter as well. If your child has allergies or if they are having a really hard time with the food choices, we will be happy to work with you to add more variety to meet your child’s needs. I promise nobody will go hungry here at Sunflower.  If our children are eating nutritious dense foods 90% of the time… I think the other 10% can be used for family traditions, birthday parties and holidays etc. Together we can do our best to raise healthy children.  

I will put out a menu monthly and will always have an alternative if your child does not like the food for that day. We serve all our meals family style and the children will take part in serving and cleaning up.  There will be one day a week where there will be a grazing table where the kids will choose from a variety of foods for their plate.  Your child always has a voice and will not be forced to eat what is on the menu; although I do encourage them to at least try new foods. There is no outside food allowed into the school   as we are trying to eliminate processed and GMO foods that the parents are not aware of.  Although this could be very difficult at times, it is an essential rule for the program. I will allow special treats for parties and holidays but please be mindful of harmful ingredients such as conventional food dyes etc.  Feel free to send me any special recipe from home that will fit the sunflower nutritional guidelines. I would love to hear from you!
