Healthy Bodies, Happy Minds
At Aster Family Daycare, we understand that positive mealtime experiences play a vital role in children’s learning, development, health, and overall well-being. We are committed to providing nutritious, balanced snacks that support the needs of growing bodies and active minds.
Each day, we serve wholesome morning and afternoon snacks that include a variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, and dairy. Fresh drinking water is always available, and we encourage children to stay hydrated throughout the day.
Our food philosophy is rooted in respect, inclusion, and healthy habits. We follow these guiding principles:
🍽️ Create calm, social, and enjoyable mealtimes
🗣️ Encourage children to participate and engage during meals
🚫🍭 Never use food as a punishment or reward
🙅♂️👀 Avoid discussing food in relation to a child’s weight or appearance
❤️ Respect each child’s appetite, preferences, and pace—we never force children to eat
🌍🍲 Embrace and respect cultural diversity in food choices and family values
🤝🥗 Remain sensitive and inclusive when food from home differs from our nutrition policies
📋✅ Ensure our menu reflects the dietary needs of our children and the broader community
We believe in fostering a positive relationship with food from an early age—supporting not just nourishment, but also confidence, independence, and joyful connection during mealtimes.

Parents' Words Are The Key To Happy Kids
We couldn't be happier with Aster Family Fun Care. Jaya and her staff are exceptional, going above and beyond in every way. Our daughter began attending Aster when she was 5 months old. Since then, she has received tremendous attention, love, and care daily. Jaya's childcare environment is organized and well thought out. It is obvious she devotes a lot of time and energy to making Aster the place that it is. It makes me feel incredibly grateful to be able to drop my daughter off and know she is so well taken care of. I highly recommend Aster Family Fun Care to anyone!

ParentsMy now 16-month old has been coming here since she was 2 months. She loves it, and we love the care and professionalism of Jaya and her assistants. They spend the day reading, doing artwork, playing outside, and all the things you would want/expect. There is transparent communication, creative activities for the kids, and you can tell that they really care about our daughter and the other kids in their care. We are so lucky to have found her and highly recommend her.
