Kidz Planet provides a comprehensive Nutrition and Health Program for our preschoolers.
Nutrition
Three well-balanced meals and two snacks are made fresh and served daily. Only healthy foods are offered, including fruits and vegetables, low fat dairy and protein foods, whole wheat breads and crackers, and drinks with little or no added sugar. No juices or soda pop are ever on the menu. Monthly menus are posted on this website.
Peanut Allergies
Due to the prevalence of peanut allergies among young children, no peanuts or foods containing peanuts are ever served at Kidz Planet. We are peanut free!
Tooth brushing
Daily tooth brushing is supervised and the children are taught why they should brush and how to brush effectively.
Fitness
Daily fitness activities are promoted, including games, use of play equipment, and outdoor activities. Gymnastics, part of the enrichment program, is offered twice per week.
Toilet Training
Children are taught how to handle bodily functions and wash their hands carefully after using the toilet and before meals. Toilet training is an important part of our program for two-year-olds. Five times a day, two year olds are given an opportunity to go to the bathroom. They are taught how to use the potty and given lots of praise and encouragement. When a child is successful, he or she earns a brightly colored sticker, which is put on a chart to share with parents at the end of each week. While children use the toilet, they are read books about potty training, written especially for youngsters.
