Welcome!

Catering to Kids, an organic caterer, serves nutritious, vegetarian lunches to children at schools in the Charleston area and dinners for health conscious, busy families.

Catering to Kids saves parent’s time, alleviating the worry over what to pack for lunch while addressing their children’s essential nutritional needs at school.

Each day we prepare one delicious, highly nutritious vegetarian meal based on the Italian concept of the family-owned “Osteria” where one splendid main dish is prepared each day from the freshest local ingredients. Salad made with a variety of fresh raw vegetables served with homemade dressing, and whole fruit make the meal balanced, colorful and appealing without gimmicks, wasteful packaging or advertising to young children! The food is presented as it should be: Simple and delicious bounty of the earth!

In this context it is easy to introduce children to new flavors and healthy foods. When children and teachers eat together in community amazing things happen. Children see each other enjoying healthy food and quickly realize that good food is delicious, fun and rewarding. This can lead to discussions about health, nutrition, organic farming, sustainable choices, recycling and so on. Lunchtime at school becomes an extension of the classroom because it reinforces good habits and places importance on the child’s role in making decisions that affect their world.
