​

Why is Butter Beans the right choice for my child?

Butter Beans provides a nutritious variety of hot and cold food options every day that allow each child, with encouragement from our staff, to create their own balanced plate. Our food service staff are trained to work with your child to ensure they feel comfortable trying new foods, and feeling accommodated at lunch. The exposure to new foods, or even some common ones that they are hesitant to try, goes a long way in helping a child gradually become a more adventurous eater.

​

Do you offer options for children who might be allergic or sensitive to gluten/dairy/egg/soy/sesame?

Yes, we pride ourselves in accommodating to all different types of food allergies or sensitivities. At the start of the school year, we receive the allergen list from the school nurse, and share the information with our food service staff. Our staff gets introduced to the children who have allergies, and they work with them to accommodate to their needs through out the school year. Furthermore, we plan our menu to accommodate the most common food allergies, and label our menu with allergen information. If you have further questions about food allergies please contact Flora, our Director of Community and Nutrition.
