Healthy Meals

At Destined By Faith Little Scholars, we believe that nurturing young minds starts with nourishing their bodies. Our Healthful Beginnings Meal Program is designed to provide balanced, nutritious meals that support the physical and cognitive development of our little scholars. Each meal is crafted with the following principles:

Dietary Considerations: We cater to all dietary needs, including vegetarian, gluten-free, and allergy-sensitive options, ensuring every child enjoys safe and satisfying meals.

Educational Component: Meal times are also learning opportunities. Children engage in discussions about the benefits of healthy eating, learn about the foods they are eating, and gain exposure to the concept of balanced nutrition.
