At PRLC Preschool we offer a full service food program; our full-time cook prepares a lunch and three snacks for all of our students each day. Our approach to feeding children is rooted in the belief that meals offer an essential time for learning and connection.

Our Beliefs About Eating & Feeding: 

  • Hungry children can’t feel sufficiently secure to thrive at school

  • Mealtime should be a joyful experience free of judgement, guilt, and shame so that children can build a positive self-image

  • Communal dining provides valuable opportunities for caregiver bonding, peer & adult modeling, and prosocial interactions

  • Predictable meal times & schedules support secure attachment

  • Children may need to experience a food many times before feeling comfortable tasting/eating it

  • Children thrive in eating environments where biases such as racism, ableism, and fat-shaming are dismantled
