Healthy Nutrition - Local Farm Fresh

Meals at Stepping Stone School are healthy, made from scratch and wholesome. Our fresh produce is grown on local farms (see below). Prepared in each school’s open, gourmet kitchen, three snacks and a hot lunch provide a balanced combination of local, farm fresh ingredients including fruits and vegetables, lean meats, and whole grains. We work closely with local community vendors to incorporate healthy, farm fresh ingredients in our menu each week! Our chefs ensure children receive the nutrition they need through meals they love to eat. We are vigilant about allergies and food sensitivities and our campuses are peanut-free.

Meal times are used as an opportunity to enhance social-emotional development, as our teachers focus on self regulation, healthy eating practices, manners and coordination.

  • All servings of vegetables are fresh daily.
