Daycare Fresh Meals

We exclusively feed children in the daycare and preschool sector, setting us apart from other food service companies. By solely focusing on food for children, we have developed a deep understanding of the unique nutritional needs and preferences of young children. As a result, our menus not only meet USDA* and CACFP** guidelines to ensure that every meal is balanced and nutritious, but we take it a few steps further…

Daycare Fresh Meals is committed to providing diverse and culturally-rich meal which can be seen in our ever-changing, multicultural menus. Additionally, we rotate our menus according to the season, allowing children to get better-acquainted with seasonal fruits and vegetables and experience their wide range of flavors. This not only helps them associate foods with certain seasons, but provides an opportunity to learn about the benefits of seasonal eating and to participate in this natural rotation. We also take pride in offering meals that are cooked fresh daily using high-quality, locally-sourced ingredients including from local farms whenever possible.

The majority of Daycare Fresh Meals’ daycare and preschool clients are linked with the CACFP program and the reimbursement it offers. With this in mind, our menus are designed to be affordable without compromising quality, while also providing value-added benefits for each child served.

We demonstrate our commitment to safety and inclusivity, by accommodating all dietary restrictions such as gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, and vegan options, plus any other restrictions, all at no extra charge. And out of concern for the wellbeing of every child, we include a full ingredients list with each menu. And lastly, in addition to being budget and tummy-friendly, we support environmentally-sound work practices such as using reusable trays, cooking utensils, etc. to do our part to significantly reduce  landfill waste.
