4 yrs old Meal Time Issue

[Crayola kiddies]

It seems as though most of the practices/procedures for center/institution daycare do not really apply to home daycare. Home daycare providers have a max of 5 children at any given time and one set of hands so like another poster said to dirty extra bowls for two or three kids so they can do it them selves is rather counter productive ..... It's easier, faster and cleaner to just serve and probably less wasteful too as kids would often take too much. I like to serve balanced portions so that all is equal. ... But for the original poster I am glad to hear things went better with the new procedure.
