Our Balanced Menus

Good nutrition is a key part of our Healthy Bodies program that promotes healthy eating and an active lifestyle. We know that the right food at the right time not only boosts energy, but can elevate a child’s mood and thinking skills during a crucial development stage. That’s why each Primrose School is staffed with a chef who follows a balanced menu plan from our National Nutrition Expert to provide fresh meals and healthy snacks. It’s a vital feature of our Healthy Bodies Program, so you can rest assured that your little one is eating well throughout the day.
