Nutritious, Balanced Meals Designed for Growing Bodies and Bright Minds
At Discovery Tots, we believe food is more than just fuel. It is an essential part of a child’s development, supporting learning, mood, focus, energy, and overall well-being. That is why we are proud to offer a thoughtfully designed meals and snacks program that supports healthy habits from the very beginning.
Our food and nutrition program provides children with a wide variety of balanced, kid-friendly meals that are intentionally planned to support growth and development.

Nutrition Designed by Sarah Remmer, RD
Discovery Tots has partnered with Canadian family nutrition expert Sarah Remmer, Registered Dietitian, to create an exclusive menu packed with variety, balance, and kid-approved meals.
Our educators receive full recipes and access to Sarah’s private portal, giving them the tools and confidence to prepare nourishing food each day. This ensures that meals are consistent, well-planned, and aligned with best practices in child nutrition.
This is one of the many ways Discovery Tots provides an elevated childcare experience that goes beyond the basics.

Nutrition Through Culture and Celebration
At Discovery Tots, nutrition is about more than filling tummies with healthy food. It is also about expanding minds and taste buds.
In addition to our exclusive menu, educators incorporate staple foods from a variety of cultures, along with special dishes connected to holidays and celebrations. This gives children the opportunity to experience different flavours and traditions while learning about the world around them.
Through food, children are encouraged to explore new experiences, build curiosity, and develop appreciation for diversity in a meaningful and age-appropriate way.
Dietary Requirements and Family Preferences
We understand that every child is unique. Discovery Tots works closely with families to understand dietary needs, sensitivities, and food preferences. Our goal is to ensure children feel safe, supported, and included during mealtimes.
We encourage parents to share dietary requirements during registration so educators can plan accordingly and maintain clear communication around food.
Why Families Choose Discovery Tots
Discovery Tots offers more than childcare. We offer a thoughtful, elevated experience designed to support children and families in every area of development.
Our nutrition program is one of the many ways we provide a higher standard of care through intentional planning, expert partnerships, and meaningful daily routines.
