Healthy Whole Foods
“They have amazing chefs for out littles who source much of their ingredients from the market itself! How cool is that!”
Our amazing chef, Noriko, pours love into every meal she prepares, filling the school with the warm, inviting aromas of fresh whole foods each morning. Menus are posted daily, sparking curiosity as children and families stop by to see what’s cooking. Meals are served family-style at the table with friends and teachers, turning eating into a shared experience of conversation, connection, and discovery.
As one parent shared:
“I think it is tremendous to have my child exposed to a beautiful variety of foods. She tries so much here, and has many new favorites that she was not willing to try at home. Something about being with friends, being curious, the conversation at the table — it’s magic!”
In classrooms, shared meals extend our approach to child development. Teachers use mealtime as a chance to spark conversation, encourage curiosity, and guide children in practicing self-help skills like serving, pouring, and passing food. These daily rituals foster independence, cooperation, and lifelong healthy habits.
PMCCP is proud to partner with the Pike Place Market Foundation, local Market vendors, and the USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) to ensure every child has access to wholesome, nutritious meals and snacks. All meals are homemade, healthy, and included in tuition.
