Ya accommodating special diets can be a challenge ~ I generally prefer to 'accommodate myself' cause I have 'control' issues and do not want to deal with Johnny being sent something 'kid friendly' as they call it while everyone else is being expected to eat a veggie stir fry over rice or something ..... but as Judy mentioned I would not enroll more than 1 child at a time with a 'special dietary need' because they often contradict each other and I myself already have a gluten restriction to consider so cannot enroll anyone who has needs that contradict my own like a nut allergy for example.
Also if I had someone on enrollment with a 'choice' restriction and another client enrolled and than later developed a 'medically required' restriction that contradicting providing the 'choice' then I would have to weigh which child's diet I could more easily manage and terminate service to the other client sadly.
It is HARD sometimes to balance individual needs within the needs of the 'group' specially when we are ONE PERSON![]()
