TASID provides a warm lunch and dinner menu made from fresh ingredients, purchased daily and prepared in our kitchen. Each meal is nutritionally balanced to meet a child’s daily needs, prepared with minimum use of salt and sugar and maximum flavour provided by fresh herbs. Snacks are served mid-morning and mid-afternoon, consisting of fruit, cheese or crackers. Drinks include milk, juice or water, the latter being offered to children a number of times per day. No nuts are served to the children and we respect and cater for any special dietary requirements. Lunch and dinner time are seen as an educational opportunity, where children are encouraged to try out different types of foods and attention paid to basic table manners. TASID follows the nutritional guidelines for childcare set by the US government. If you are interested in more information you may view menus for childcare at www.nfsmi.org.
