Our Meal Program

Food provides the important fuel needed for both learning and play! At Meadowvale French Montessori School & Daycare we make sure your child is getting the fuel they need. Our menu ensures each child is meeting their daily Ontario food guide requirements as stated by the Ministry of Community and Social Services. Children in attendance for six hours or more are offered a meal and two snacks to make sure they are getting the total amount of food from each food group as required. Please see the Handbook for further details.

With their safety in mind, Meadowvale French Montessori School & Daycare is a NUT FREE SCHOOL. Our policy is not to allow peanut butter/nut products to be brought to school by any child or staff member.
