The older sister of daycare also monitors the health status of the food piece, takes into account personal hygiene, brings children to food and feeds children in groups.
For effective nutrition, the daycare has a map of dishes that indicate layout, calorie content of dishes, protein and carbohydrate content. Consequently, the necessary content is achieved in the full list of children's products and compliance with the chemical composition of the diet in accordance with current standards.

In the first half of the day the baby's diet is recommended to include foods rich in protein and fat, for dinner easy-to-digest foods should be given vegetables, fruits, dairy products, curd, and fish dishes.
The basis is compliance with recommended food groups. They include key groups of products that meet the physiological needs of preschoolers in basic foods and provide them with the necessary calories.
- The relationship between home food and daycare meals:
Children should be provided with the right dishes and sit comfortably at the table. Children's nutrition and proper nutrition of the child should be combined in the family. It is necessary to strive that home-cooked meals complement the diet of daycare. For this purpose, parents should be informed of the products and dishes the child receives during the day. After having conversations with parents about nutrition, it is important to warn them that before a child leaves for daycare, he or she is not fed, so violating this diet, leads to a decrease in appetite. But if the baby is brought too early, you can give it tea, juice or some fruit.
- Adapting children in daycare:
Children's transition from home to education in the children's community is almost always associated with some psychological difficulties. The younger the child, the harder it will be for him to adapt to the team. Often at this time it is a sleep disorder, deteriorating appetite, and reduced overall body resistance to diseases. Proper nutrition during this period helps accelerate the adjustment of the child in the team.

For reliable storage of vegetables use food blocks, which traditionally consist of a vegetable shop and store. The diet is different respectively for the two age groups: 1.5 to 3 years and 4 to 6 years. The range of dishes for all children does not change due to age, and differences consist in the calorie content and size of dishes: for children under 3 years of age daily calories are 1400 calories, and for children more than 3-1800 calories. Meanwhile, 75% of the food a child must get in daycare, and 25% at home.
