Meals & Nutrition Policy

Empire Academy Childcare Center offers healthy meals to all enrolled children as part of our participation in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). Parents, please know all liquids and food hotter than 110° F are kept out of the children’s reach. We prefer NO lunch brought from home. However, if you should have to bring in lunch, know that we do not allow any foods to be shared due to possible allergies. Staff is educated on Nutrition and Food allergies and they take precautions to ensure the kids are protected. Also, please keep in mind all foods brought into the Center must be Commercially packaged and prepared. Staff does not reward good behavior with food of any kind.
