At The Launchpad Schoolhouse, we realize the importance of nutrition for the developmental process. We believe in providing healthy and balanced meals and drinks so your child can learn their best!
Not only do we provide nutritious food following the USDA meal requirements for healthy schools, but we also ensure each child has constant access to a fresh bottle of water all day. We also encourage our students to try new foods, a variety of foods, and even cook foods!
During meal time, we sit family style and discuss the components of each meal, what it does to help our bodies, and why healthy nutrition is essential. This is an excellent time for students to talk about their likes and favorite foods, and often, they encourage each other to try and like new things!
The more our young learners know about where their food comes from, the more likely they will try it and like it! We love using our garden, buying from farmers, and explaining how we get our food. We let students experience firsthand, as much as possible, with growing their food. From raising chickens for eggs to picking vegetables from our garden and planting seeds.
At The Launchpad Schoolhouse, we participate in the Farm to Early Care and Education (ECE) program. For information about the curriculum, current fresh foods in Missouri, and more, check out the following website: https://health.mo.gov/living/wellness/nutrition/farmtopreschool/
The health of our students is a high priority to us. We strive to keep everyone healthy with frequent handwashing and teaching our students how to wash correctly. We ensure that children displaying signs of illness are sent home to rest and recover. All students must have a doctor's medical evaluation before their first day of school. Additionally, immunization records are kept current and reported. Students who are not vaccinated are still required to provide a statement of exemption.
