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.

 

You should never pick on your sister when she has a baseball bat in her hands.
