ACAP receives funds from the State of Washington to provide nutritional, high quality breakfast, lunch and snacks for children in our programs -- that they like to eat. We operate a full kitchen meeting DSHS licensing standards, under the management of an exceptional cook.

We emphasize fresh foods, variety and that meet the nutritional standards necessary for a child to thrive – but especially, important is that children like the food they eat. We work closely to assure that kids with food allergies have the same quality of healthy foods that meet their own special dietary needs.

Nutrition, along with health and safety are also a component of our children’s educational programs. Kids learn what is good for them and what they need to grow healthy and strong and to support their learning.

The only thing better than cooking it is eating it!!!

In May and June the kids got dirty--- with great planting projects! Seeds were started indoors and plants moved outdoors when weather warmed up.  Kids helped prepare soil outside and planted their seeds in classroom gardens.  And, they helped plant a kitchen garden of herbs and vegetables.             Miss Marty’s class has already had a chance to eat their peas right out of the pod…and decided that was “good.”  Way better than frozen peas.
