Country Sunshine Children's Center

Meals, Snacks and Parties 

The Center provides a light breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack to your child each day.  We make every effort to ensure that nutritious food is available for your child.

To help your child feel special, you may bring store bought party treats to the Center on your child's birthday. ALL food brought into the Center must be store bought per NC law. Please inform the teacher on the day before and try to keep the treats simple.  Paper products and juice are provided by the Center.
