Free Breakfast
It has been medically proven that no child should start his or her day without breakfast. Our service will start your child's day with a wholesome breakfast, and also offers the same for parents who wish to enjoy breakfast with their child. Just come in between the hours of 6:00 & 8:00 a.m. to enjoy a bowl of cereal and juice or milk (coffee for parents) at no charge with your child.

Snacks and Lunch included
At Arizona Child Center, your child will enjoy a morning and afternoon snack as well as lunch. All of our meals and snacks are nutritionally balanced and meet the required food components and portion size necessary for a growing and developing child. If still hungry, your child may have second servings of anything that we serve. We also will strongly encourage them to at least try an offering from every food group that is offered.

It has been proven that the value of eating breakfast significantly affects a child's ability to learn, react responsively, pay attention and get along with others. A recent study has shown that children who eat breakfast every morning will improve their math grades, school attendance and punctuality. Eating breakfast is critical to a child's ability to think faster and clearer, solve problems and are less likely to be fidgety and irritable early in the day. Children who skip breakfast have been proven to be not as adept at selecting the information they need to solve problems, have a weakened ability to recall and use new information, lack verbal fluency and attentiveness are negatively affected by hunger.
