High quality nutrition for every child
We believe that well-fed children are better learners. That’s why we provide high-quality kosher meals — meat, dairy, and vegan options — along with healthy snacks throughout the school day, all at no cost to our students.
Our philosophy is simple: caring for children completely means also meeting their physical needs so they can focus, grow, and thrive. Lunches and snacks are not just nourishment but part of our holistic approach to education.
Families also have the option to order food for home online — including weekday and Shabbat meals — for pickup at Ner Atid! The proceeds from home orders directly support the complimentary lunch program at both Tamim Academy and Ner Atid Early Childhood Education, helping us sustain and expand our mission of raising confident, well-rounded Jewish children.
