Is there any vitamin supplements or natural foods that can aid growth?

I would like to give my son’s daycare a complete list of foods that he can eat without having to take his Lactaid pills.
I have seen the doctor in regards to this, but there was no "real" advice given to help me help my son's daycare! That is my real main concern. Fortunately, my son does take his Lactaid pills, but I would like to be able to give his daycare a complete list of foods that...
