Meals and Snack

Rainbow Village Daycare Centre provides a comprehensive 5-week menu focused on nutrition. This menu is reviewed annually in consultation with a registered nutritionist and is designed to reflect the diverse cultural backgrounds of the children in our care.
We serve breakfast, lunch, and two afternoon snacks, all prepared by our full-time cook, who holds a Food Handler Certificate and utilizes fresh ingredients in accordance with the Canada Food Guide.
Additionally, all staff members are required to possess a Food Handler Certificate as part of their qualifications to work at the centre.

Rainbow Village maintains a strictly nut-free environment. Outside food is not permitted in the center unless prior notification is given to the supervisor for discussion. For special occasions, such as birthdays, parents may provide a nut-free treat for their child's peers, ensuring that the treat is sourced from an external provider. Cupcakes are a popular choice, as they are easy to serve and universally enjoyed.
Additionally, offer an alternative menu for children with dietary restrictions or preferences due to health conditions or religious practices.
