NUTRITION

Nutrition directly affects a child’s overall development. Good nutrition nourishes the body with necessary vitamins and nutrients, and provides energy needed for a child to participate in educational and physical activities.

Each child at Ruckus House is given two nutritious snacks and a hot lunch daily, following USDA requirements. Three types of menus are provided: regular, non-dairy, and vegetarian.

Our kitchen staff plans and prepares “home-cooked” lunches that are served by the teachers family style. They join the children during mealtimes, encouraging healthy eating habits and use of good manners. It’s the perfect time to talk about the day’s activities. Parents of infants must provide labeled bottles and baby food until table food can be eaten by their child.

We recognize that lifelong eating patterns are established early in life and Team Ruckus takes responsibility in helping children and families understand the critical role nutrition plays in a child’s total development.
