Nutrition & Lunch
Brooklin Mill Montessori School is pleased to offer a nutritious and child-friendly mid-day meal, supplemented by healthy between-meal snacks. Our lunches and snacks are provided by Wholesome Kids Catering, a business with over 20 years experience serving the needs of children in school settings. Wholesome Kids Catering meets high nutritional standards and provides healthy alternatives for children with food allergies or special needs. More importantly, the menu items appeal to the child’s eye and sensitive taste buds. We can provide the most current 4 weeks of rotating menus for your review upon request.
For students in our Senior Casa or Elementary classes, participation in the lunch program is optional. Students bringing their own lunches or snacks are encouraged to select nut-free foods that promote good nutrition and dental health.
​
Brooklin Mill Montessori strives to be a nut-free school. There are a number of children enrolled at the school with severe nut allergies to both peanuts and tree nuts. Because these allergies can be life-threatening with very minimal contact, we need your vigilance to ensure that foods brought into the school are free of nuts or traces of nuts. Also, please be diligent in washing hands, face and brushing teeth if your child consumed nut products prior to coming to school.
