Nutrition Policy

At Woods Hollow Children's Center, meals and snacks are prepared onsite by a Nutrition Specialist and Nutrition Assistant.  Meals will include healthy choices, with a balance and variety of foods, which supply essential nutrients to the diets of both children and adults.  Food is purchased from wholesale food companies or local grocery stores.

Woods Hollow participates in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), which is a federal program of the Food and Nutrition Services, USDA.  The primary goal of CACFP is to improve the diet of children 12 years of age or younger.  The CACFP is operated in accordance with USDA policy, which does not permit discrimination because of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability.  If you believe that a child has been treated unfairly in receiving food services for any of these reasons, you may write to USDA, Director, Office of Civil Rights, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20250-9410, or call (202) 720-5964.

Peanut Butter & Tree Nut Free Center

After much consideration and research Woods Hollow Children’s Center has determined the Center is a peanut butter and tree nut free center.  Due to the difficulty of peanut butter, nuts, or their oils and residue being transferred from tables to chairs to sink faucets and so on during the clean up process, we feel this is an appropriate step to take.  This is the only food item we are eliminating from the center menu because in addition to protecting the children with food allergies, our goal is to help train the children to understand and learn to manage their food allergies.
