Food Services

Ensuring the health and well-being of children at Sunrise Children's Services is paramount.

Our food guidelines, meticulously planned by the Food Services Department, align with USDA nutritional standards to guarantee that every meal provided meets the highest nutritional criteria. Recognizing the transient nature of our population, we prioritize both mental and physical health. Children at Sunrise receive nutrition education upon admission, supplemented with ongoing activities that reinforce healthy eating habits. Additionally, we offer free, nutritionally compliant meals and snacks, ensuring that every child has access to balanced nutrition without the option to purchase less healthy alternatives. Regular physical activity is scheduled, and the health metrics of each child, such as height, weight, and BMI, are closely monitored to address any significant changes promptly. Our comprehensive approach, which includes staff training and ongoing program evaluations, ensures that we continually meet the dietary and wellness needs of our residents, fostering an environment conducive to their overall health and development.
