LOVS Nutrition Program

Welcome to our LOVS Early Education and Preschool’s Nutrition Program! We believe that good nutrition is essential to a child’s growth and development, and we are committed to providing a healthy and balanced diet for all of our students.

Our LOVS Nutrition Program is designed to support healthy eating habits and promote a lifelong love of nutritious foods. Our goals include:

Providing children with a variety of nutrient-dense foods that support their physical and cognitive development.
Encouraging children to try new foods and develop a taste for healthy options.
Reducing the intake of sugary snacks and drinks to promote dental health and overall wellness.
Providing education and resources to parents and caregivers to reinforce healthy eating habits at home.

Our approach to achieving these goals includes:

Serving a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats in each meal and snack.
Limiting sugary snacks and drinks, and offering healthy alternatives such as fresh fruit, yogurt, and cheese.
Incorporating nutrition education into daily activities, including discussions about healthy eating habits and the benefits of nutritious foods.
Collaborating with parents and caregivers to reinforce healthy eating habits at home and ensure consistency in messaging.

We take pride in our LOVS Nutrition Program and are committed to providing high-quality meals and snacks that support the health and well-being of our students. Sample menus are available on our website to give parents and caregivers an idea of the types of foods and meals that are served as part of the program.

We also offer resources and tips to help families reinforce healthy eating habits at home. From recipes to ideas for healthy snacks, we are committed to working together with families to support the health and well-being of our students.

As soon as your child is ready for table food, we serve yummy (and nutritious) meals that they’ll love. We firmly believe attitudes about nutrition and fitness are formed early in life. That is why the LOVS staff participates in the Balanced Menus program, which meets or exceeds USDA standards. During snack and lunch time, children discuss the benefits of eating a Balanced Menu consisting of protein, fruits, vegetables and whole grains. A trained Food Service Teacher prepares meals on campus, and your child eats in the comfort and security of his or her classroom in an unhurried setting. LOVS provides an environment that encourages your child to try new, healthy foods.

Nutritious mid-morning and afternoon snacks, as well as lunch, are served daily. A late afternoon snack also provides energy your child needs to stay active and alert until he or she leaves school at the end of the day.

Due to the potential risks associated with nut allergies in young children, our staff does not use or allow nut products or products containing any derivative of nuts. You should discuss any special dietary needs for your child with the LOVS staff. Modest accommodations will be made for your child if he or she has food allergies, is subject to dietary restrictions, or requires specific menu items for cultural reasons.

Our popular meals feature many key benefits for active growing kids across the Tri-Valley:

Fresh, seasonal fruit and vegetables included with all meals.
Meals are prepared fresh each morning to ensure the highest quality and taste.
We follow the Environmental Working Group (EWG) Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides methodology to reduce potential produce pesticide exposures up to 92%.
Most meats and dairy sources are hormone and antibiotic free.
Our meal trays are made from compressed wheat straw fiber and are certified compostable.

In response to the pandemic, we have implemented these policies:

All employees wear PPE throughout the day, including gloves and face masks.
All transportation warmers and bins are sanitized prior to daily deliveries.
Our entire facility, equipment and work surfaces are sanitized daily.
No one is allowed in our facility with cold or flu-like symptoms.
