At the Family Development Center, we take great care in providing nutritious and delicious meals and snacks for your children. Lunch is prepared from scratch daily by UCCS Catering high-quality ingredients and delivered fresh to our center. In addition to lunch, we also serve a healthy P.M. snack each day.

Our meal program adheres to the nutritional standards set by the USDA’s Child and Adult Care Food Program, ensuring balanced and wholesome options for every child.

Mealtime is more than just eating—it’s an opportunity for children to socialize, develop self-serving and motor skills, try new foods, and fuel their energy for a happy, healthy day. We are proud to provide two hot meals and a snack each day, supporting your child’s growth and development.
