Nutrition

 

Panda employs a cook who prepares nutritious home cooked meals. We work with a four-week rotating menu, consisting of morning and afternoon snacks and a hot lunch. Menus are posted in each room and by the front entrance.
If your child requires a special diet for cultural or medical reasons, we will do our best to accommodate you. However, please be advised that we may not be able to supplement everything.
Please speak to the Centre Director and she will advise you as to what Panda is able to provide and what you must supply yourself. Also, please keep in mind that the food you supply should be nutritious and follow the Canada Food Guide.
Peanut-conscious program
Panda has eliminated peanuts and peanut-based snacks from our menu. We also use non-peanut alternatives wherever possible.
While Panda makes every effort to ensure that meals and snacks are free from peanuts or peanut byproducts, we cannot guarantee that all food purchased from suppliers is completely free from peanut contamination. We cannot be responsible for children or families who may bring peanuts to our centres, or for any residue that may remain on surfaces. 
It is extremely important that parents of children with peanut allergies notify the centre in writing, and provide an epi-pen in case of emergencies.
