Information)
|
ACAP receives funds from the State of Washington to provide nutritional,
high quality breakfast, lunch and snacks for children in our programs --
that they like to eat. We operate a full kitchen meeting DSHS licensing
standards, under the management of an exceptional cook.
We emphasize fresh foods and variety that meet the nutritional
standards necessary for a child to thrive – but especially, important is
that children like the food they eat. We work closely to assure that
kids with food allergies have the same quality of healthy foods that
meet their own special dietary needs.
Nutrition, along with health and safety are also a component of our
children’s educational programs. Kids learn what is good for them and
what they need to grow healthy and strong and to support their learning. |

In May and June the kids got dirty---with great
planting projects!
Seeds were started indoors and plants moved outdoors when weather warmed
up. Kids helped prepare soil outside and planted their seeds in
classroom gardens. And, they helped plant a kitchen garden of herbs and
vegetables.

Miss Marty’s class has already had a chance to eat their peas right out
of the pod…and decided that was “good". Way better than frozen peas.
