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.
