I dont give my daycare kids juice at all, we are one cup of milk at lunch and water ALL day long. They get juice at my house maybe once a year. My reasons are more for "mess" and "expense" rather than the health aspect, however it makes it easier to say no to juice because I really dont feel it is a neccesity (sp) in life. The child can get much more from fresh fruit and a glass of water. Now as far as parents bringing juice into the house at drop off? If they do , I ask the child to bring it directly to the table, if they dont drink it within minutes after drop off, I dump it, rinse their cup and put the cup by the front door for going home. Then they get their cup of water at the kitchen table.
