MINDFUL NUTRITION
Redstone Children's Academy is committed to providing healthy food for our children. Research shows that poor nutrition due to an unbalanced diet can hamper brain development, negatively impacting information processing, language skills, and behavioral development in children. RCA's Nutrition program was designed to combat these negative effects of poor nutrition. We only serve fresh fruit, vegetables, meats and whole grains to ensure each child is receiving the best nutrition possible while in our care.
OUR APPROACH
1.
FRESH
FRUITS & VEGGIES
Each day, our children are served fresh fruits and veggies- no pre-packaged fruit snacks or "veggie straws" allowed!
2.
LOCAL & LEAN
MEAT
The meats we serve our students are only fresh: no pre-seasoning and no sticks. We only use lean beef, turkey, and chicken, and we source our meats from local farms.
3.
FRESH-MILLED
GRAINS
We mill our own flour on site directly from the whole wheat-berry! Freshly-milled grains retain more essential nutrients than whole grain breads found in stores.
4.
NON-HOMOGENIZED MILK
We serve all-natural, pasteurized, non-homogenized milk each day, with no added hormones or rBST.
