Country Sunshine Children's Center

Meals, Snacks and Parties 

The Center provides a light breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack to your child each day.  We make every effort to ensure that nutritious food is available for your child.  Please inform a staff member if your child requires a special diet so that we can develop an alternative meal plan for him/her.

To help your child feel special, you may bring party treats to the Center on your child's birthday.  Please inform the teacher on the day before and try to keep the treats simple.  Paper products and juice are provided by the Center.
