“I love the high quality of food served to children at New Horizon Academy. There’s always a fresh fruit or vegetable. My son is exposed to a great selection of food, and he’s become such a healthy eater!”

— Nicole M., Parent at New Horizon Academy

Food and Nutrition Curriculum

At New Horizon Academy, we understand the importance of a healthy start, which is why our daycare curriculum includes hands-on learning opportunities such as planting and tending school gardens, cooking activities, and taste testing.

Family-style meal service offers an opportunity to expand on social, emotional, cognitive, and fine motor skills. It is also gives children opportunity to be more at ease in trying foods. Teachers sit with children to provide encouragement, and the children decide what and how much. Children are much more eager and willing to try new foods when they are in in control. We also use reusable plates, cups, and utensils to reinforce good eating habits and promote sustainability at our daycare centers.
