Background: preschool age is a golden period that can determine the quality of children in school period, so their nutritional status needs attention from all stakeholders. School Supplementary Food Program for Kindergarten Students (PMT-AS TK) is a nutrition program designed by the government with the purpose of supporting children�s food intake of nutritional food and ultimately improve their quality during school period. Very few studies have been conducted to evaluate the school supplementary food program for school children, none of which was done in kindergarten. Objective: to asses mean of unit cost, energy and protein of supplementary food for kindergarten school children in Bantul Sub District Yogyakarta Province. Methods: the study was a cross-sectional design with descriptive analysis. Data collection was organized in two kindergartens located in Bantul Sub District. Both kindergartens represent either a governmental school or a private one. Sample of supplementary foods was taken in the forms of wet food, dry food and eggs. Weights of the foods were measured then the energy and protein value was determined by using food composition table. Unit cost of the food was estimated based on financial reports of the kindergarten. Univariate analysis and linear regression test was performed for data analysis. Results and discussion: the mean of energy value is 191,7 kcal (63,9% of recommended value) and the protein content is 5 gram (100% of recommended value). The higher nutrition value of the supplementary food, the more budget it costs. A budget of Rp 1.710,00 is needed to obtain a supplementary food containing the recommended nutrient value (300 kcal of energy and 5 gram of protein). Conclusion: budget from the government (Rp 1.400,00 per portion per pupil) is used efficiently but has not yet reached the recommended energy value of supplementary food intended for pre-school children.
