I provide every meal and am required to provide snacks in between as well. So I have no issues with feeding kids. But I am also required to have a schedule. Brkfst: 7-8:30
am snck: 10:45
lunch: 12-1
pm snck: 3:45
supper: 5:15-5:45
I am required that within those hours if I have any children in care, they must be at least offered a full meal or approved snack. But, they have to wait for one another, i.e. no multiple servings of breakfast, whoever is here durring that meal time eat that meal (or at least its offered) if someone drops their child off at 8:45 and says they didnt eat brkfast, that child must wait until am snack. I too feel as if I am cooking/making meals and cleaning up after them ALL DAY LONG!
if you are not required to feed the children and they come durring an early hour, why dont you ask the parent to provide a breakfast at drop off? easy one like a bag of dry cereal, or a cereal bar and sippy of milk?
