AGBMS
provides healthy, protein based snacks for the children. In Our Nest and Children’s
House, there is a morning snack provided. Some examples of snack
include non-sugary cereals, fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, cheese,
crackers, nuts, and hardboiled eggs. The children who stay for
afternoon care (after 3 p.m.) are also provided with a variety of
healthy snacks.
The
elementary class brings their own morning snack, which is stored in
the small refrigerator in the Elementary environment. Appropriate snacks would be
cheese and crackers, granola bars, yogurt, or fruits and
vegetables. Cookies and
other desserts, or chips, are not the best choices for re-energizing
the young mind. Elementary children who stay for after school care
are provided with a healthy afternoon snack. The children participate in
the preparation and clean up of the snacks.
