Real Food For Real Kids For The Children of Trust Child Care
Meals at Trust Child Care are served “family style” in class groups. Your teachers sit and eat with the children. Teachers model table manners and healthy eating habits.
Snacks always contain at least two food groups. Because providing a wide variety is important! We serve combinations like “Super Smoothies” which include creamy yogurt stirred together with fruit & veggie blends or Real Food Kitchen-made muffins both served with a side of fresh fruit!
RFRK provides Trust Child Care a 4-week rotating menu. This include main protein dishes such as locally-sourced chicken, pasture-raised beef, organic turkey, wild-caught Skipjack tuna, Canadian Ocean Wise salmon and nutrient-rich legumes.
Proteins will be paired with a variety of grains including red, basmati, brown or wild rice, quinoa, whole grain whole wheat pasta, white and tricolour pastas. Also variety of custom and specialty bread products are featured. No plate would be complete without a colourful combination of vegetables and fruit. Above all there is a focus to get as many of these ingredients as possible from local farms.
RFRK menus are approved by a third party Registered Dietitian. Menus exceed all of the guidelines in the Child Care and Early Years Act (CCEYA).
Children love to be fun and creative. RFRK builds menus with the intention to provide engaging and interactive Snacktivities – like Falafel Slider Bites, Mini Pita Pizzas & Banana Roll Ups! Other offerings include fresh fruits and veggies, custom-made yogurt, locally made mini pitas and Real Food Kitchen – made salsa, dips, hummus and more!
Every item provided follows the Real Food Promise which contributes to focused, happy, healthy kids!
