Free Breakfast - We at Valley Child care & Learning Center believe that no child should start his or her day without breakfast. So if you and/or your child want to start the day off by eating breakfast together, just come in between the hours of 6:00 & 8:00 a.m. and enjoy a bowl of cereal and juice or milk (coffee for parents) at no charge.

Snacks and Lunch included - Morning and afternoon snacks and a lunch that is nutritionally balanced and meets the required food components and portion size at each meal are available for your hild. Your child may have second servings of anything we serve. We also encourage them to at least try every food group that is offered.

Many studies in recently have documented the value of eating breakfast to a child's ability to learn, pay attention, think quickly and get along with others. Children who eat breakfast improve their math grades, school attendance and punctuality according to on recent study.

Eating a regular breakfast enables children to think faster, clearer, solve problems more easily. Children are also less likely to be fidgety and irritable early in the day. Children who skip breakfast are not as adept at selecting the information they need to solve problems. Other adverse affects of skipping breakfast include the ability to recall and use new information, verbal fluency and attentiveness.
