The New Dream Child Care Center is a proud sponsor of the USDA Food program. Upon enrolling you will also be enrolling into the USDA Food Program. There are two forms required with enrollment that pertain to the USDA/CACFP Food Program. The USDA Food Program supplies the center with government funding to benefit the children in our care.

New Dream recognizes and honors that eating well and being physically active are key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. We believe developing and establishing healthy habits at a young age helps children continue these habits into adulthood when they will be at risk for developing chronic diseases. Children partake in practicing healthy habits and nutrition starting on their very first day in our program.

We are committed to the health and well-being of all the children at our Center. We recognize the importance our staff members play in helping children as they learn to live healthy lifestyles. Our staff members promote healthy habits in children by demonstrating positive role modeling behaviors, providing encouragement and giving positive reinforcement when children demonstrate healthy habits. 

Fresh and nutritious meals and snacks will be served to your children throughout the day.  Breakfast will be provided starting at 8:30-9:00 am. Lunch will be provided from 11:00 am-12:00 pm.  An afternoon snack will be served at 2:00-3:00 pm. Please refer to your child’s classroom schedule as service times vary for each class.
