Meal Program: Cucina Affamato
AGES
Sage Room and older
Healthy Child-Friendly Meals Away from Home!
‘Wild Roots’ very own health-focused meal program is available as a set, monthly add-on option for all children in our Sage Room and older to enjoy. Parents who have enrolled their children in our Cucina Affamato Meal Program enjoy the convenience of NOT packing a lunch each morning, while also feeling rest assured that their children are provided nutritious, substantial, and delicious meals to sustain them for optimal learning and development! It’s a win win!
All of our meals are California state licensing approved for appropriate portion sizes and food group variety. Our kitchen churns up well balanced, hand prepared, and always organic dishes that are always child friendly, with an added touch of creativity and gourmet flair! Plus, we even feature a culturally diverse dish every Friday that allows the children to explore the foods and flavors from another region of the Globe!
Our natural, holistic environment is wellness focused and encourages healthy choices for our children. What better way for the children to explore healthy eating and feeling empowered to do so, than to smell and taste the offerings of their very own “café” each day, right on the premises? That is what Cucina Affamato is all about.

Advanced Food Prep
MAKING FOODS FROM AROUND THE WORLD!
Wild Roots enjoys every opportunity to celebrate community and rich experiences that unite the children together. We embrace each opportunity to appreciate diversity and learn something new. As such, we are proud to allow our hot lunch children the opportunity to explore amazing foods and flavors from around the Globe each Friday!
Here, both the hot lunch students as well as the older students who help to prepare Friday meals, will learn a bit about each culture during the cooking and eating process! The culture’s native flavors, seasonal produce, fresh cuisine, with a bit of discussion on the culture’s land, flag, and climate will be explored!
Multicultural Meal days not only allow wonderful cuisine and diversity to be celebrated- it also provides an extension to traditional lessons in both geography and food preparation! We want the children to experience unique flavors and ingredients they may not otherwise experience, and to develop interest and awe for different places and people! We hope to guide them in discovering that the world is extremely diverse, and that that whats makes it special and interesting!”
