Nutrition, Health and Safety
At Bright Champs Academy, Nutrition, wellbeing and safety of our children are our top priorities. We are committed to creating a nurturing and secure environment where children can explore, learn, and grow. Our dedicated staff follows rigorous safety protocols, including continuous supervision, regular health checks, emergency preparedness, and stringent sanitation practices. We foster a culture of care, ensuring that every child feels safe, valued, and supported. Parents can trust that their children are in a safe, loving, and enriching environment, where their health and security are always our foremost concern.
Nutrition- Well-nourished children are the most effective learners! This is why we offer nutritious meals and snacks daily, all included in your tuition. If your child has allergies or specific dietary needs, we will provide a safe and tasty menu choice. During mealtimes, your child will have the opportunity to try new foods, practice the best eating habits, and explore the tastes and textures of various different cuisines! We prepare and serve fresh meals for children ages 6 weeks - 12 years. All our meals are approved through the USDA Food Program.
