Hansel and Gretel Day Care, Inc. are participants in the USDA School Nutrition Program. We are dedicated to providing healthy, quality meals to all children free of charge.  Together with your help, we will ensure that your preschooler eat well, be active, and grow up healthy. Young children need your help to develop healthy eating and physical activity habits for life. During their early years, you and your preschooler's doctor are partners in maintaining your child's health.

The preschool years are an important time for developing healthy habits for life. From the ages of 2 to 5, children grow and develop in ways that affect behavior in all areas, including eating. As preschoolers grow, they change physically, mentally, and socially. Every child develops eating habits at a different pace.
