Menu items offered at Kid’s Fun day home are well planned and designed to appeal to both children and
parents alike. For children Age 1-3 years I make every attempted
to follow Health Canada's "A Food Guide for Little Folks",
children age 3 and up follow the "Canada
food Guide to Healthy Eating". As both a mother and an experienced provider, I DO understand that there may be one or two that do not wish to eat certain "foods". Some children like to experiment while others hit a stage when they become "picker" than usual...
At my table the children are never forced to eat an item that is served, but are instead encouraged to try a small bite of the items on their plate, you never know, sometimes even the "picky" eater is surprised to find themselves enjoying a new or previously disliked food.
