Every year we invite families to sign up to bring snacks for their child’s class.
Snack Time is a very important part of our day. We use this time to relax, visit and try new foods in a safe way (at preschool you are allowed to smell, lick, taste and even spit out things you don’t like…I’m happy to explain more!). We make connections to the themes of the week (“…These cheerios are like the wheels from our book! We’re eating rabbit food -carrots and lettuce! The crackers are the same shape as our book! Everything is the Color of the Month! Everything starts with the Letter of the Week!…”). Snack Time is often the one thing children report on when they get home.
We will have up to 12 children in each class. There will be at least 2-4 teachers in each class, but please don’t feel pressured to include enough for us.
Snacks can be as simple as a box of dry cereal or as complex as a letter themed food. While we usually finish at least one box of crackers/gallon bag of fruit or veggie, we will always have back up snacks, so don’t worry about there being enough. For individually packaged items, bringing one of each is also completely fine (or if there is an odd number left over we can divide it up!). We also enjoy “real food” like pasta, cereal, mashed potatoes, quesadillas. We do have an oven, stove, microwave, fridge and freezer for our use.
We will gladly keep leftover snacks for use another day or for when children are hungry outside of snack time.
We serve cold water (or warm water for those who prefer) so drinks are not necessary.
Per our “Safe School” policies, parents are required to indicate dietary restrictions/food allergies on the required Medical Record and Allergy Alert form. If there are foods that preschoolers are not permitted to eat, parents will provide “safe snacks” for their child. These are labeled by child’s name and will be stored in the preschool cupboard in the kitchen. They will be used only for that child. Parents will be notified when “safe snack” supplies are running low. In the case of a severe food allergy, we will communicate that to families so the allergen is not brought on site.
