To realize excellence in education, we share a responsibility to ensure children come to school ready to learn.
Nutrition plays an integral part in that responsibility.
The Child Nutrition Programs administered by the Massachusetts Department of Education contribute to the health and well being of the Commonwealth's children, by supporting nutritious meal service in day care centers, family day care homes, summer feeding programs and schools.
