“When are we going to eat?”

When we hear that question at Guilford Child Development – we’re ready! We learned early in our mission that the way to a kid’s head is through their stomach. Our “Catering for Kids” program serves 1,300 nutritious breakfasts and lunches daily to children in 11 Guilford Child Development centers, plus another 20 independent centers throughout Guilford and Randolph Counties. Throughout our 38 year history we have served more than 12,500,000 meals to children and families.

With a capacity to serve 1,500 meals each day, our “Catering for Kids” program is ready to serve additional independent centers with good nutritious food prepared and transported in clean, sanitary conditions. Our facilities consistently rate high in the “A” sanitation grade with ratings above 95%. Our four delivery vehicles guarantee delivery to all centers before 11:30 a.m. each week day.

All of our meals meet standards established by the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) administered by the United States Department of Agriculture. That means our meals are high in nutritional value with lots of fruits and vegetables and low in fat and sugar content. By serving healthy, nutritious, and culturally diverse foods, kids learn early about good eating habits, making good choices, and maintaining healthy lifestyles.

If they’re hungry they can’t learn, so food is serious business. At “Catering for Kids” we take our job seriously.
