It is no secret that an empty tummy makes for a very distracted learner. Southwest Academies offers nutritious meals and snacks to ensure that our little learners are able to stay engaged in their daily activities and not focus on their rumbling stomachs.
Our centers make it a point to ensure there are options for every child, no matter what allergies or dietary restrictions they may have. We encourage every child to try new foods, practice manners, learn to share with their peers, and discover the exciting world of flavors and textures. Here is more information on our meal program:
Southwest Academies is committed to serving our students in all aspects of their life, from their social development to giving them the tools to excel in their academics. Our educators work around the clock to provide a supportive and engaging environment for our students. We know that there’s no bigger hurdle to your child’s success than not getting the right nutrition. Your child’s diet directly impacts their growth, development, cognitive function, immune system, and overall health. It serves as the building blocks to your child’s physical and mental well-being.
By providing your child a balanced diet, we ensure that your child can access the right nutrients for proper brain development, strong bones, and a hardy immune system. This way, your child can remain focused on learning about the world around them and having fun with their peers.

Learning never stops. Mealtimes are the perfect opportunity to engage in mindful behaviors that build extra-special moments for your child, whether that is sharing a laugh with their friends while they eat or learning to take proper portions. Even at mealtimes, your child will be surrounded by a community that is fostering independence.
All of our meals and snacks are meals that are USDA-approved and meet the Child Care Food Program (CACFP) standards! These standards include a great variety of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean meats, proteins, and low-fat and fat-free dairy while minimizing added sugar and saturated fats.
Southwest Academies takes the nutrition of our students very seriously, and we want parents to know exactly what their child is eating. This is why we share monthly menus into our Procare app, as well as print them at the front office, so parents always have access to know what their child is eating that day.
Southwest Academies understands that every child’s dietary needs are different. We have vegetarian options for students who do not eat meat due to personal or religious reasons. We also are able to work with students to ensure that any allergies or dietary restrictions are followed by making special meals just for them. We want every student to have access to food that not only tastes great but makes them feel good.
Healthy eating is essential to ensuring your child grows, develops, and feels well. Not only does it provide the energy to engage in their daily activities but it also prevents chronic diseases and promotes mental health. Other benefits include the following:
Southwest Academies is committed to supporting our students’ development by creating a program that nurtures their mind, body, and soul.

Southwest Academies puts our monthly menus into our Procare app as well as prints out physical copies that are kept in our front offices for parents to take. This ensures that there is never any question as to the nutrition that the children are getting.
No. Students are only allowed to bring in meals if they have allergies to the food we provide.
Parents are required to bring a doctor’s note that clearly states their child’s dietary needs. We will then work to accommodate them, ensuring that their child has what they need to stay full and healthy.
The meal programs are universal for all age groups except for our infant program. Infants will be fed formula until they can eat table foods. Parents of infants will be required to fill out a form detailing what formula they give their child. This will then be updated when needed by the parent.
