Menu

Northern Stars Montessori School & Daycare focuses on health and nutrition and provides the children with nutritious, home cooked meals.

A breakfast, hot cooked lunch, and afternoon snack are prepared and served to the children on a daily basis. We only provide the most nutritious and delicious healthy products and meal ideas for the children to enjoy, and our four-week menu is created with the Canadian Food Guide in mind.

  • Everything is made in house with fresh ingredients, by an experienced cook. NO FROZEN FOODS.
  • Children will drink water and milk only.
  • Food prepared daily, with a wide variety of nutritious meals.

Our menus are posted weekly for your viewing, and our 4 week menu changes with the seasons, 4 times a year. We ask for your consideration by not allowing your child to bring any food or snacks to the center as we have many children who have allergies to certain products.

We are a peanut free and pork free environment. We ask all staff and parents to leave these products out of the center and that they are not eaten prior to entering the center. Due to peanuts being a highly allergenic food, we have learned that even small traces of peanuts can be deadly to those who are allergic.

If you wish to provide your own drinks or foods due to personal preference of dietary restrictions, you may do so but must label all ingredients, must be peanut free, and provide refrigerated or heating directions. Cold packs must be included for any refrigerator items. You must send a written email confirming that it is your personal preference.
