MEALS AND SNACKS
If there is something
special your child(ren) particularly enjoys, please feel
free to send it with them but please bring enough to
share with all of the children.
The meal schedule is
listed below. Children who are here during those times
will be served. Children who choose not to eat curing
these times will not be served again until the next
scheduled mealtime. If your child will be arriving
after a scheduled meal time, please arrange to feed
him/her prior to arrival. This allows me more time to
focus on the other daily activities, and eliminates
problems caused by children arriving with "Happy Meals"
in hand.
Meal Schedule (for
toddlers and older)
Breakfast: 8:00am - 8:30am
Lunch:
11:00am - 12:00 pm
Afternoon snack:
3:30 pm
All foods will be cut
into safe-size pieces and served in child-sized
portions. Children are expected to try one bite of any
food served, unless the child has an allergy or
sensitivity to that food. If after trying a bite, the
child does not like that food, he/she will not be forced
to eat any more of it at that meal.
Children may have second
helpings of any or all foods upon request, after they
have finished all foods on their plate. no child will
be required to eat more than one bite of anything.
Please alert me to any
suspected food sensitivities or allergies so that I may
attempt to accommodate your child's dietary needs.
Also, if you avoid any foods or combinations of foods
for religious , cultural, or health concerns, please let
me know your needs and I will attempt to accommodate
your requests for your child. If your child does
require a special diet, you will need to provide that
special food / beverage.
As detailed in the
supplies section of this handbook, you are responsible
for providing your infants formula or breast milk and
baby food.
