NUTRITIONIST CERTIFIED & CHILD APPROVED MENU
Delightful and Nutritious! Our commitment to fostering healthy habits in growing minds and bodies is evident through our Healthy Habits Nutrition Program. Our certified nutritionist ensures that our breakfasts, lunches, and snacks not only meet the highest nutritional standards but also pass the ultimate taste test—approval from our very own food critics, the children in our care!
Before any meal makes its way onto our menu, it goes through a rigorous testing process by our young connoisseurs, guaranteeing both flavor and kid-friendly appeal. Every dish is carefully crafted to be not only delicious but also nut-free, prepared with fresh ingredients, and nutritionally balanced.
We take pride in our in-house food preparation, with the majority of our meals created ‘from scratch’ by our skilled chefs. Our modern, well-equipped kitchens offer ample space and storage, including a separate storage room for ingredients.
As the morning activities wind down and lunchtime approaches, the tantalizing aroma of freshly cooked, wholesome meals permeates the air. It’s no wonder our little ones eagerly gather with their caregivers, looking forward to savoring a delightful and nourishing meal.
ALLERGY SENSITIVE & HEALTHY HABITS
Being a facility that prioritizes allergy sensitivity and maintains a nut-free environment, we collaborate closely with parents to address their children’s dietary requirements. Our menu undergoes meticulous planning, featuring high-quality ingredients, and all food items are consistently nut-free.
Our dedicated caregivers are well-informed about any allergies a child may have, and we make certain that allergy lists are prominently displayed in each room and recorded in room binders. Moreover, our entire staff is trained to recognize allergic reaction symptoms and receives annual training on the proper administration of epinephrine. Lead caregivers incorporate Healthy Habits lessons into their programs, helping children understand why some foods may be restricted due to allergy-related concerns.
Our Medication and Health policies are thoughtfully designed to ensure that prescribed medications are administered correctly by qualified caregivers. We maintain detailed records of medication administration, which are readily available for parents to review. To maintain freshness, each room is equipped with its own refrigerator, allowing us to limit the amount of time perishable items, like milk, spend outside of refrigeration. Your child’s well-being and safety are our top priorities.
SAFE & SECURE FACILITY
At Future First, we prioritize a thorough and comprehensive culture of safety and security. Our commitment to your child’s well-being is unwavering, and we take extensive measures to ensure a secure and clean environment.
Our facility, equipment, and toys are regularly inspected and maintained to meet the high safety standards required for licensed daycare facilities. We are approved and closely monitored by Licensing, Fire, Health, and Safety Inspectors to ensure compliance. Even our outdoor playclimber is custom-designed and constructed with safety as a top priority.
We follow a stringent cleaning regimen for toys, equipment, and our facility, maintaining a hygienic environment. Children are actively taught and encouraged to practice good hygiene habits, and our dedicated staff is committed to ensuring the safety, security, and health of every child. All our staff members are qualified in Early Childhood Education and receive training in accordance with Active Start policies and procedures. Each team member undergoes a thorough background check, maintains a current criminal record check, and holds First Aid Certification. Our volunteer screening policy is comprehensive, ensuring the utmost safety for everyone.
In the event of incidents, accidents, or illnesses, we meticulously document and sensitively administer necessary reports.
During the summer months, we prioritize outdoor fun while also taking proactive steps to apply sunscreen daily and insect repellent as needed.
To enter our centers, our security systems require either specific codes or fobs, providing an added layer of protection for your child. Our child pick-up policy is strictly enforced, ensuring that only authorized individuals with clearance are allowed to pick up children from our care. Your child’s safety and security are paramount to us, and we take every measure to provide a secure and nurturing environment.
