Julie is very careful about what the children at Tater Tots eat!
She makes most of the bread products the same day they are served using fresh, local grown ingredients when possible. The meats are high quality, generally low-fat and prepared in ways that are enticing to children. The fruits and vegetables are generally served fresh and raw. Locally grown ingredients are preferred when possible.
Sugar is kept to a minimum and even the popsicles and snow cones served in the hot summer afternoons are home-made from fruit juices.
Children eat family style with an adult at the table to guide and direct them in learning manners and good eating habits. They learn responsibility by cleaning up their table area at the end of each meal.
The children brush their teeth after the lunch meal.
