Caterpillar International Academy focuses on providing a unique learning opportunity for children, fusing education and play into a safe environment to stimulate fun and a love for learning in young minds and encouraging lifelong independence for every child.
C.I.A will ensure each child has a takeaway they learn daily. While the day is full of fun, social interaction, and hands-on projects, all activities will include the daily takeaway so that kids will feel at ease and ready to learn more. This learning style has become a proven model to prepare children for school better and keep their active and creative minds prepared to learn more.

The colorful divided plate includes sections for vegetables, fruits, grains, and protein foods. MyPlate's user-friendly, interactive website provides simple messages, such as:
-
Choose variety — the best meals have a balance of items from different food groups
-
Fill half your child's plate with vegetables and fruits
-
Make at least half the grains you serve whole grains, like oatmeal, whole-wheat bread, and brown rice
-
Serve fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk and water rather than sugary drinks
