Kids Kare Center

Nutrition

All meals and snacks served at KKC meet the Department of Human Services and State of Minnesota Nutritional Guidelines.We partner with Lancer Dining Services to provide a hot lunch program at Kids Kare Center. With over 30 years of experience serving children, Lancer proudly creates fresh, kid-friendly meals.

Breakfast and Snacks:

Both snack and breakfast menus can be found outside of each classroom or a copy for home can be provided upon request. 

If your child is not at the center for their class scheduled breakfast, we will assume that breakfast has been served at home. We serve breakfast each morning:

• 7:30-7:45    School Age

• 8:00-8:30    Waddler, Toddler, & Pre-K

• 8:30-9:00    Preschool 1 and Preschool 2

We follow a two-component snack scheduled. Two-component snack means that we serve two of the five main food groups (grain, protein, dairy, fruit and/or veggie).

Lunch:

We currently offer three options for lunch: A hot lunch, an alternate lunch or a cold lunch from home. Our hot and alternate lunches are catered to us by Lancer Dining Services. The menu is sent home each month and is also available on our website. Lunches are $3.50/lunch and must be ordered a month ahead of time. ​
