At GCCSA, Inc., children’s nutrition is a top priority. We ensure that enrolled children receive optimal nutrition to support their growth and well-being, while fostering a positive environment where they can develop healthy eating habits.
Our Head Start (HS) and Early Head Start (EHS) Centers serve nutritious meals and snacks through our participation in the Child and Adult Care Food Program. We establish smart eating habits by:
- Providing nutritiously balanced meals: breakfast, lunch and snacks.
- Serving meals and snacks to children individually and allowing children second servings from the vegetable, fruit, grain, and milk groups.
- Encouraging children to feed themselves, explore new foods, and make choices about what they eat by participating in family-style meals.
- Providing special dietary meals as prescribed by a physician or as a family preference.
