Kidssentials was established in 1997 to address a need within the community to provide a Healthy alternative to the traditional fundraising Hot lunches usually served in schools and is built on the premise that having hot nutritious meals in schools should not be difficult or intrusive.

Operating for seven years, Kidssentials is very proud to provide meals to students in the private, public, and separate school sectors - on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.

Kidssentials is pleased to offer and customize programmes that meet and exceed the wishes of the schools we service, recognizing that each school requires personalized attention to allow the programmes to run smoothly. Further, recognizing the diversity within schools, cultures and lifestyles, we are able to customize programmes to best suit your needs.

Today, Kidssentials has grown to service over 30 schools throughout, Mississauga, Brampton, Oakville, Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and surrounding areas in Ontario, Canada.

Letters of reference are available from many of our school clients and can be provided on request.

Our Commitment

We firmly believe that healthy eating is a requirement for meeting children's energy needs for growth, development and activity.

It is our desire to help parents, teachers and caregivers give children the fuel they need to complete their day fully and effectively.

Safety Comes First

There are many elements to consider with the safe preparation and transport of food to students:

Temperature

• Many food-borne illnesses are developed when food is not maintained at a safe temperature. Cold foods must be kept cold and hot foods hot! Kidssentials transports its foods in containers specially designed to maintain safe temperatures, in compliance with the Health Board regulations.

A Principal says:

"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."
