About Us

INFANTS: Please bring prepared bottles or sippy cups and/or necessary food labeled with your child’s name and the date. PLEASE REMEMBER that bottles and sippy cups will be rinsed only, these items must be taken home daily to properly clean and sanitize. These items will be placed in the classroom refrigerator as needed, we will use a bottle warmer to warm bottles for infants who require it. Infants requiring cereal to be added to their formula must provide a note from their pediatrician.

Brighter Beginnings will offer breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon and evening snack each day. The menu will include healthy food choices that are approved by MS Department of Health.

If your child has a food allergy, please provide us with an allergy form from their pediatrician.

Menus will be rotated every two to three weeks and will be posted at the parent info center and on our website.

Per MS Department of Health Regulations, outside food for children may not be brought into center, except in cases of extreme allergies. Outside food is only allowed for birthday celebrations or other school parties. We will only accept store bought food.

Breakfast will be served at 8:00 a.m. each morning. If you would like for your child to eat breakfast, they must arrive by 8:30. Due to staffing, food preparation and curriculum schedules, ALL children must be dropped off by 9 o’clock a.m. each morning. This is to keep disruptions at a minimal and give each child the opportunity to participate in learning activities. Children arriving after 8:30 a.m. will not be able to eat breakfast unless prior approval has been received from the director.
