I have families bring their own lunch in cooler pack lunch bags and I provide breakfast as the provided Meal. Its a full breakfast, getting them off to a good start and then we can go on our outings or for a picnic or whatever and dont have to be rushed to get back so I can make lunch, we can just continue on having fun until quiet time. Less mess to clean up, more care provided and less cooking. Besides, Im here to provide quality childcare services, Im not a daylong Chef. I will start them off with one heck of a breakfast and provide 2 snacks but when lunches are left up to the individuals, kids are happy with items they like, they get choice-more control over what they eat. Of course parents cant just sent sugar stuff..I give them info on canadas food guide, portions etc and encourage them to provide a balanced lunch. Breakfast items go from pancakes, to waffles, to eggs, to peanut butter or nuts, to porage, cereal, toast, bagels etc..on and on its endless what you can serve for breakfast!!
