KU Food Program

*2018 USDA Turnip the Beet Gold Award Winner*

Kids Unlimited recognizes the importance of healthy food. It is our priority to incorporate nutrition education, and garden education in daily programming and curriculum.

The summer Food Program gives every Kids Unlimited student access to free breakfast, lunch and a snack each day. All meals are cooked from scratch in our on-site commercial kitchen.

Culinary Arts

Students who participate in the culinary arts program learn about where food comes from, how to prepare it and how to present their product. Many students develop a passion for cooking and learn culinary arts skills that can be implemented at home or in future employment.
