Nutrition Information

The CDL food program is USDA approved, following the Child & Adult Care Program guidelines
We practice family style, where children are encouraged to help serve themselves and decide the amount of each food component that they would like to consume in the meal.
Due to DCFS licensing regulations, the CDL is required to provide all food for enrolled children. Parents are not permitted to bring food from home unless there are medical reasons.
Snacks are prepared on site and lunches are catered.
Infants are on an on-demand schedule. We currently provide Dr. Brown’s Good Start iron-fortified formula and Gerber purees/cereal.
Breast-feeding: We will serve expressed milk or mothers may come in to breast-feed their babies.
We will make every effort to accommodate special dietary needs within our capacity.
