Meals & Deals 


A FREE 2-hour workshop sponsored by 

Heartland Child Nutrition at 

14 sites/times in March April 2012



The cost of food is a major expense in running your child care business. At our Meals & Deals workshop, we'll investigate good buys in terms of nutrition and dollars. 


  • We’ll view opened cans of fruit and vegetables, containers of crackers and  cereal, and other foods to compare the lower cost brands to their higher price conterparts.


  •  Meat costs are a signifant part of your food bill. Find out if you may be  serving too much or not enough of the meat/meat alternate food group.

  • Determine if some foods purchased at "dollar stores" are worth the $1.


  • Small group work will calculate what typical child care meals, including infant meals, are costing you and how you can serve nutritional variety without busting your wallet.

  • Show how pre-planning menus may save you time and money (and it's easy to do online!)


Plus, by popular demand, we’ll also have a short kid’s craft idea section. This year the craft topic is "Wheels."
