At Casa Feliz, we believe that a child’s first meals shape their entire relationship with food.
This is why we introduce real, wholesome food from the very beginning: no sugars, no processed snacks, and no seed oils. Just simple, nourishing meals made with love.
We serve traditional dishes like rice and beans, gently seasoned with organic cumin, cooked in avocado oil, and paired with vegetables and fruits such as bananas, mangoes, passionfruit, and papaya.
These first flavors become their comfort food, real food, full of warmth, care, and culture.
This is how we help children build a healthy palate for life, one joyful spoonful at a time.
Even their first birthday cake is a celebration of simplicity and health: a fresh watermelon cake, beautifully sliced and topped with organic yogurt, a moment of joy that sets the tone for a lifetime of mindful eating.
And when it’s time for a treat, nothing beats our homemade picolé popsicles, made with real fruits and veggies, which are loved by every child who has ever tasted one. They ask for them by name, and we take pride in offering something refreshing, nutritious, and joyfully simple.
At Casa Feliz, every meal is made with love, from chopping fresh veggies to simmering dry beans. We use only avocado oil, garlic, and gentle spices like cumin. Our food is full of seasonal produce and bold flavors that nourish and delight

“We reminded him how much he used to love Casa Feliz food… he still does! He exclaimed, ‘How do they make it so good!?‘”

Yes, all our produce, grains, milk, and oils are organic.
All snacks are made from scratch, using real fruit, oats, and seeds never processed.
No, we never add sugar or artificial sweeteners. Children learn to love natural sweetness from fruits and vegetables.
We use a baby-led weaning approach at daycare. This means we offer babies real, manageable pieces of food, just like the older children eat, so they can explore and feed themselves at their own pace.
We guide all of our staff using Solid Starts resources Solid Starts – How to introduce any food to babies. Teachers are trained on safe food sizes, choking prevention, and best practices for introducing solids in a developmentally appropriate way.
We always wait for parents to introduce solids at home first. Once you let us know your baby has started solids and tell us what they’re eating, we will begin serving similar foods here so they have a consistent experience.
We serve whole, fresh foods prepared in safe sizes and textures for babies. From the start, we offer the same healthy meals the other children eat, adapted as needed to your baby’s age and readiness.
We love sharing our favorite recipes with families, because the care doesn’t stop at our door.
Explore how we cook with love, culture, and simplicity using real ingredients your child already knows and loves.
We believe that love, culture, and health all begin with the first bite. Come taste the Casa Feliz difference.
