Job Description

Serving 30-90 children daily | Small, home‑style kitchen We're looking for someone who cooks like a parent or grandparent — simple, comforting, kid‑friendly meals. Not a chef. Not a line cook.

What You'll Do Start your morning in the classroom: warmly greet families and help children settle in Move to the kitchen and get breakfast out 30 minutes after Breakfast ~9:00 AM Lunch at 11:00 + 11:30 PM snack at 2:00-2:15 Prepare home‑style meals that meet CACFP requirements Complete CACFP documentation (menus, production records, portions) Wash dishes, sanitize, and reset the kitchen Use DEC‑aligned communication with staff (calm, respectful, team‑minded) Online grocery shop twice weekly; one pickup (your transportation), one delivery Work efficiently in a small, once‑a‑home kitchen Do basic math for portioning and CACFP calculations Who You Are Extremely reliable — this role depends on you every day Warm, steady, and kid‑friendly Comfortable on your feet all day Organized and able to switch gears quickly Enjoy cooking simple, nourishing meals Willing to learn
CACFP + DEC
(if new) A Day Here Greet families, settle kids, then head to the kitchen to get breakfast rolling 8:30. Lunch flows at 11 and 11:30, dishes get done, documentation gets handled, and snack goes out mid‑afternoon.
