Nutrition

Our Head Start centers have been Missouri Eat Smart, advanced level certified since 2012. Many menu improvements have been made including:

• More whole grains
• More fruits and vegetables
• Less processed foods
• Lower fat milk
• Fewer sweets
• More variety of foods

All of our classrooms in Head Start and Early Head Start practice family style meals. Family style meals are  a great way to introduce healthy foods, model healthy behaviors, and provide chances for nutrition education.
