​NUTRITION

Capital Kids offers morning snack, lunch, and afternoon snack for its students. Lunches are catered by Good Food Company, a locally-owned company.  Snacks are provided by Capital Kids.  We work to provide healthy options for our students and include many organic snack options.  All snacks and meals are pre-planned with menus provided in advance.  We are a nut sensitive facility and make an effort to maintain nut free center.  This month's lunch and snack menus are available to review on this page.

We love how even a meal can be a learning opportunity, helping reinforce social-emotional concepts as well as work on gross and fine motor skills.  In our older classrooms we serve community-style meals to allow for social-emotional growth through interacting with peers to communicate our wants and giving opportunities to share with friends.  In addition, we enjoy encouraging our students to try new things.  Each month we have a unique fruit which allows students to try a sweet treat to which they might not otherwise be exposed.  Examples of our unique fruits have included durian, mango, jícama (technically a vegetable!), guava, papaya, and pitaya.
