    Kidssentials Meals are Designed with Children in Mind and a Focus on Keeping them Healthy!

    We have developed a catered lunch program that is simple to run, requires little from the school administration, and at the same time meets the needs of students, parents and staff. Whether offered as a full service or fundraiser, everyone wins with the quality of a Kidssentials catered lunch program.

    Kidssentials is Easy to Offer in Your School

    In most schools today, students have only 20 minutes to eat. So, it’s really important that the lunch program in your school be quick and efficient. Kidssentials staff are on-site at school from the beginning to end of lunchtime to answer any questions, assist students, and ensure the smooth running of the lunch program.

    Testimonials

    We love what we do and it shows! See what our customers and parents are saying about us.

    • The most important aspects of your programme is the very warm, and personal service your staff provides. I have observed your staff in their interactions with our students, and it is heart-warming to see how much they care about the children. I have watched your staff deal with various situations which have arisen in which students find themselves without a lunch, and on every occasion the students needs have been met with reassurance and a smile. This aspect of the service you and your staff provide is both immeasurable and invaluable to me as Principal of the school.
      Mississauga Private School Principal
    • The quality of the food Kidssentials serves has surpassed what we would expect from an outside service coming into the school. Kidssentials meals are always served hot, fresh and the kids just love it. The Kidssentials staff assembles the majority of the meals at the school in order to ensure that the food is as fresh and hot as possible. The delicious sauces are always mixed well, and the burgers are always hot without soggy buns. …We have only good things to say about the program and we are extremely pleased that we chose Kidssentials.

    • When compared to our previous lunch provider, the Kidssentials food portions are significantly larger and the quality and appeal of the meals are definitely more favourable for the same price. We look forward to having Kidssentials weekly in our school.
