What To Bring

Snacks and Lunch

Eating together is a pleasurable activity for all of us. We will provide a morning and afternoon snack for each child. Children should bring their own lunch; we suggest using cold packs or thermoses to maintain the desired temperature. Parents of infants will provide all food, formula, and bottles for their baby. We will be glad to provide snacks when parents agree that would be appropriate. We will provide milk to drink with lunch. We like to encourage good eating habits from the start; please do not send candy, gum,soft drinks or more than one dessert.

Some nutritious lunch suggestions include:

Yogurt/Cottage Cheese
Pasta
Pizza
Soups
Hard Cooked Eggs
Celery stuffed with Cream Cheese
Cheese and Crackers
Chicken Legs
Left-over Dinner
Sandwiches - Vary the bread: whole wheat, pita, oatmeal, rye, rolls
Fillings: bananas, honey, apples, raisins, jam, or pineapple; cheese, tuna or egg salad; meat, lettuce, tomatoes; humus.

Also include fresh fruit and vegetables!

** Please check with your child's classroom teacher for any food or nut allergies. Classrooms or individual programs may have a no nut or no peanut butter policy.

Diapers

Parents provide diapers, wipes and any necessary ointments/creams for their own child. We will use either cloth or disposable diapers. We will follow your lead in toilet training to maintain consistency, and do not require children to be trained by any specific age.
