Healthy Breakfast Options

We often focus on having a healthy lunch, but a healthy breakfast is just as important for your child to fuel his body for the day. Children are known to be picky eaters, but our private schools in Orlando have a list of healthy and easy breakfasts your child will love.

Breakfast Bars

Burrito Bites

Mini burrito bites are perfect for the child who doesn’t really want breakfast but needs a little pick me up. You’ve got to prevent that low sugar, right? With burritos, you can basically add anything you want, but we’ve got a simple recipe for you.What to Do:
