USDA Nutrition Program
Healthy Eating, is the beginning of a healthy lifestyle
You want your child to eat well—and be happy, healthy, and active. We couldn’t agree more. That’s why we provide nutritious meals and snacks to meet the needs of rapidly growing bodies and minds.
Instead, our meals and snacks includes versions of kid favorites made with healthier ingredients, like whole grains, proteins to keep bellies full, plenty of fruits and vegetables—and low-fat, hormone-free milk.
At MACA, nutrition is about more than the food on the plate. It’s an important part of our educational model. Everyone get the opportunity to set the table with their friends. They are able to practice good manners by saying, “please” and “thank you,” to each other and learning how to become independent by serve themselves from big bowls and drinking pítchers. This dining style is called
“family-style” with this approach children are able to build their confidence and communication skills. In other words, at Maca, mealtime creates strong classroom communities.
