Food and Snacks

Well-balanced meals and nutritious snacks will be served by Morning Star

Breakfast is served at 8:00 a.m. A monthly breakfast menu will be provided to those students utilizing our early morning child care program

Our meals are wholesome, home made meals and snacks. By preparing our own meals, we will have the opportunity to respond to the needs and requests of our children!

All children eat together family style. Children are encouraged to serve themselves. This is a wonderful opportunity for social interaction and to learn about appropriate table manners.

Birthdays
Birthdays are a special experience for children! Children are welcomed to bring a special snack for birthdays. However, food code requires that all snacks brought from home be store bought as opposed to homemade. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.

Parents Group
On Wednesday evenings dinner is served in Fellowship Hall by the Church for a small fee. This is a great opportunity for parents to meet their children’s friends and families.

Daily Sheets
These sheets are filled out on a daily basis for White, Blue, Purple, Red and Green Stars about each child and given to parents at pick-up. These sheets can help parents understand their child’s mood, eating and sleeping habits and special activities while at Morning Star on a daily basis.
