Food Service

EDS provides meals and snacks at appropriate intervals for our toddlers and preschoolers. 

Infants are offered food on demand.  All formula, baby food, and baby cereal are provided for those children under 12 months. For children who require a different formula than the one offered by EDS, families must provide pre-made bottles for the entire day that are labeled with the child’s name, the date and the time the bottle was made.Families who provide breast milk must ensure that it is labeled with the infant’s full name and the date that the milk was expressed. Staff will discard any unfinished and unrefrigerated formula or breast milk after one hour.

For children over 12 months a fresh cooked breakfast, lunch and PM snack is provided. 

All allergies and other food related issues need to be documented by a physician before any changes or substitutions can be made.

Outside food will not be allowed on premises, unless there is a doctor note on file with agency.
