COA Nutrition Program

At COA, we believe that nutritionally sound meals are the fuel that supports growth and brain development. It is our goal to provide a variety of wholesome meals and snacks that are nutritious, safe, developmentally appropriate and properly portioned for young children. We view our approach to be another "teachable moment" that will help children live a healthy lifestyle and prepare them for early child development and learning.

Between dropping off and picking up the kids, a full day's work and the endless demands of the day, Mom's need quick and easy dinner recipes that deliver nutritional value and help to turn dinner-time into family-time. Check out our COA Parent Blog for menu recipes that may make your cooking life a bit easier.

Meal Servings

Our menu plan is aligned with the latest nutritional science for optimal nourishment. Our menus increase the availability of whole grains and fat-free and low-fat milk. Levels of sodium, saturated fat and trans fat are reduced to meet the nutritional needs of school children within their calorie requirements.

COA schools serve breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack. However, meals, menus and snack service may vary by location. Please check with your local school for more information.
