Nutrition Daycare Partnership Program
With Registered Dietitian, Sarah Remmer
Level-up your daycare’s credibility and trustworthiness!
As a pediatric registered dietitian with over 17 years of experience, Sarah partners with childcare providers (daycares, dayhomes, private preschools) to not only design nourishing, safe and cost-effective menu plans and recipes, but also to educate caregivers, staff and parents on the most current, evidence-based nutrition and feeding recommendations (because staying up to date on nutrition and feeding can feel overwhelming and confusing).
If you want to level-up your credibility as a trustworthy childcare provider who prioritizes nutrition and wellness, having an award-winning pediatric dietitian like Sarah on your team is the way to go.

- You feel confused, overwhelmed and a bit lost when it comes to feeding the children in your care.

- You feel overwhelmed/lost when it comes to meal ideas, menu plans and recipes that your kids will actually eat.

What Daycares Say About Working with Sarah
Kepler Academy had the privilege of partnering with Sarah Remmer for almost 3 years. We are very pleased with the deliverables and the tremendous value she brought to our families and children.
What sets Sarah apart is her kind, compassionate nature, coupled with her commitment to providing top-quality professional consultation and expertise. From the onset, she not only addressed our immediate needs but also offered valuable insights for the long-term enhancement of our center’s approach to food and nutrition. Sarah worked with our Director of Operations to craft comprehensive and balanced menu plans that showed her attention to detail and creativity in developing meals that were nutritious, economical, and appealing to little ones.
Sarah also created lesson plans to integrate into our proprietary Exploratory Education approach and curriculum. Kepler Academy required lesson plans that focused on food exploration, learning about nutrition, and building a positive food environment. Sarah developed these for us, and they were well thought out, and well-loved by Kepler Children and Staff alike. Furthermore, Sarah conducted invaluable staff training sessions, equipping our team with the latest feeding best practices.
Sarah worked with our Marketing and Client Experience team by contributing content for our blog, social media, and newsletters. We also collaborated to provide our clients with virtual workshops on picky eating and other practical tips. She was able to translate eating and feeding recommendations into accessible and engaging material, like tips and tricks, for both our staff and parents. We appreciated the caring support she provided parents behind-the-scenes, too. Any little message sent to her, via email or on social media, was responded to in a kind and prompt manner. Many families were appreciative of this and loved her perspective as a mom of three.
We wholeheartedly recommend Sarah’s services to any forward-thinking childcare organization or centre. Sarah provided credible information and helped to educate our community on the fundamentals of supporting children in developing positive relationships with food. She made a positive impact on our staff, families, and children.
